A well-traveled, sophisticated man, he was respected for his penetrating insights and graceful prose. Problems of Power, his finest work, argues that international law and Realpolitik lost their hold on the conduct of international relations around 1870. Contemporary affairs since then were determined by a fear of political weakness resulting from cultural and spiritual decline. Fullerton's argument that this fear was provoked by the global economy, and that it encouraged nationalism, protective economic measures and a fervent desire to repel foreign influences, remains relevant today.
