Discover how a postwar world could be organized for lasting peace and shared progress.
This edition draws on historical ideas about a world association that would guide international relations, justice, and the rules of war. It presents a vision where nations work together to replace armed conflict with arbitration, a common moral code, and durable cooperation.
Readers will see arguments for a formal starting point after war, the role of powerful and small states alike, and the importance of leadership from nations like the United States and Britain in building a just international order.
- An overview of postwar goals: justice, reparation, self-determination, and a future framework.
- Questions the world congress would confront, from law to arbitration and enforcement.
- Ideas for creating a moral, legal code regulating warfare on land and sea.
- Discussion of how a new international association could evolve and expand.
Ideal for readers of history, political science, and international relations who seek a clear, contextual look at early ideas for global cooperation.
