Hardback. Condition: Good. First published in 1930, Eckart Kehr?s Economic Interest, Militarism, and Foreign Policy was a landmark in the reorientation of German historiography. Breaking with the prevailing tradition of high political and diplomatic history, Kehr argued that the roots of Wilhelmine Germany?s militarism and imperial expansion lay not in grand strategy or ideology but in the material interests of agrarian elites, industrial magnates, and bureaucratic institutions. His essays trace the influence of Junker landlords, heavy industry, and the armaments lobby in shaping naval policy, colonial ventures, and military budgets before 1914. By emphasizing the structural interplay of economics, class interests, and state policy, Kehr anticipated what later scholars would call the ?social history of politics.? This volume, edited and introduced by Gordon A. Craig, makes Kehr?s pioneering work accessible to English-language readers and situates it within broader debates about the causes of World War I and the character of modern German history. Craig highlights both the brilliance and the provocations of Kehr?s Marx-inflected analysis, showing how it opened new pathways for understanding the domestic foundations of foreign policy and for questioning the autonomy of political decision-making. For historians of Germany, international relations, and the origins of modern militarism, Economic Interest, Militarism, and Foreign Policy endures as a foundational text: rigorous in its archival grounding, bold in its reinterpretation, and influential across generations of scholarship.…

Ground Zero Books, Ltd acquired this item directly from Dr. Holland. Eckart Kehr (21 June 1902 in Brandenburg, Germany - 29 May 1933 in Washington, DC) was a German historian who was one of the first historians to emphasize the importance of social structure and economic interests in influencing political decisions. His most important work is his 1930 doctoral thesis (published 1931) Schlachtflottenbau und Parteipolitik 1894-1901 ("Battle Fleet Construction and Party Politics in Germany, 1894-1901: A Cross-Section of the Political, Social and Ideological Preconditions of German Imperialism"), which describes the domestic economic sources of Germany's naval policy during the years 1894 to 1901, reversing the cherished doctrine of the primacy of foreign policy in the life of the German state. The monograph gained slow acceptance, and his arrogant tone and historical mistakes held it back for decades, until West German historian Hans-Ulrich Wehler et al. revived it to create the Bielefeld School of social history in the 1960s-1970s. It is now considered a classic in the history of the Germany of Kaiser Wilhelm II. He died in 1933 of a heart attack after he had published 16 more essays. Gordon Alexander Craig (November 13, 1913 - October 30, 2005) was a Scottish-American liberal historian of German history and of diplomatic history. Craig was born in Glasgow. In 1925 he emigrated with his family to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and then to Jersey City, New Jersey. Initially interested in studying the law, he switched to history after hearing the historian Walter "Buzzer" Hall lecture at Princeton University. In 1935, Craig visited and lived for several months in Germany, to research a thesis he was writing on the downfall of the Weimar Republic. This trip marked the beginning of lifelong interest with all things German. Craig did not enjoy the atmosphere of Nazi Germany, and throughout his life, he sought to find the answer to the question of how a people who, in his opinion, had made a disproportionately large contribution to Western civilization, allowed themselves to become entangled in what Craig saw as the corrupting embrace of Nazism. The essays in this important work address: German Naval Policy, Anglophobia, Weltpolitik, Class Struggle, Armament Policy, Imperial Germany, Tripitz, German Kreigsmarine, German Navy, Propaganda, Royal Prussian Reserve Officer, Social System, Puttkamer, Reichswehr, Prussian Bureaucracy, Rechtsstaat, Dictatorship, and Historiography.…
