Rethinking power and peace in a divided world.

This scholarly look at how democracy, empire, and international law shape our era argues that the British Commonwealth has a crucial, unifying role in world affairs.

In a crisis-filled chapter, the author explains why diverse races and nations must work within a single state to prevent chaos. He links the spread of democratic values to responsible leadership, and outlines how Britain can balance domestic concerns with global responsibilities.

Explore how ideas of citizenship and commonwealth influence international relations
See the challenges of guiding a vast empire through crises with restraint and cooperation
Understand debates around empire, self-government, and the duties of powerful nations

Ideal for readers of early 20th-century political thought and history, who want a clear view of democracy, empire, and global order during trying times.
