Abstract
The racial issue is becoming a central problem of international relations. Despite the prevailing disregard in international studies, the racial factor can no longer be ignored. Its impact may well revolutionize the field as we come to appreciate how racial stratification dominates the world pattern of state relationships. Unfortunately, disciplined analysis seems to lag behind events. A few prophetic analysts such as W.E.B. Dubois, Richard Wright, and Gunnar Myrdal have identified the significance of color in transnational relationships, but they have been ahead of their times. There has been, however, very little systematic attempt to relate the racial factor to the theory of international relations or to apply a consistent analysis to the problems of international racial conflict and integration (Shepherd, 1970).
