Domestic Analogy
Domestic analogy is an international affairs term coined by Professor Hedley Bull."Society and Anarchy in international Relations" and "The Grotian Conception of International Society" in Domestic analogy is the idea that states are like a "society of individuals". The analogy makes the presumption that relations between individuals and relations between states are the same. The domestic analogy is used when aggression is explained as the international equivalent of armed robbery or murder. A person can look at international affairs like a society of people, except there is no police, and every conflict threatens the structure as a whole with collapse. p. 58-59 In his famous book '' Just and Unjust Wars'', Michael Walzer Michael Laban Walzer (born 1935) is an American political theorist and public intellectual.

Analogy
Analogy (from Greek ''analogia'', "proportion", from ''ana-'' "upon, according to" lso "against", "anew"+ ''logos'' "ratio" lso "word, speech, reckoning" is a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject (the analog, or source) to another (the target), or a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process. In a narrower sense, analogy is an inference or an argument from one particular to another particular, as opposed to deduction, induction, and abduction, in which at least one of the premises, or the conclusion, is general rather than particular in nature. The term analogy can also refer to the relation between the source and the target themselves, which is often (though not always) a similarity, as in the biological notion of analogy.

Reception ''Just and Unjust Wars'' has, together with ''Spheres of Justice'' (1983) and ''Interpretation and Social Criticism'' (1987), been identified as one of Walzer's most important works by the philosopher Will Kymlicka in ''The Oxford Companion to Philosophy'' (2005).
