Synopsis

Facing the rise of imperialism and the pressures of global finance, this book argues for a peaceful, open international order.

It analyzes how economic forces, trade networks, and banking influence state power and how a new kind of peace is possible when nations abandon exclusive spheres and embrace interdependence.

This volume surveys how markets, loans, and infrastructure bind countries together—and how those ties can either threaten or secure lasting peace. It aims to reframe policy choices away from conquest toward freedom of trade, access to resources, and equal opportunity for development.
  • Understand how imperialism grows from economic power and global finance.
  • See why free trade and open markets are presented as foundations for lasting peace.
  • Learn how international agreements might safeguard subject peoples and weaker economies.
  • Explore the historical context of early 20th-century debates on a new internationalism.
Ideal for readers of history, political economy, and international relations who seek a concise argument for economic openness as a path to peace.
