Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This extensive volume examines the historical debate on the limitation of armaments and military expenses, presenting a collection of documents and writings by leading thinkers of the 19th century. The author frames these primary source materials with informative prefaces, providing background on the ideas and proposals put forward by statesmen, pacifists, and legal scholars in the lead-up to the First Hague Peace Conference. These proposals were prompted by the widespread recognition that the spiraling arms race among European powers was both an economic burden and a threat to peace. The book thus offers a timely reminder of the challenges and complexities involved in achieving disarmament, as well as the enduring importance of international cooperation in maintaining peace.
