Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In the early hours of April 22, 1914, American President Woodrow Wilson sent Marines to seize the port of Veracruz in an attempt to alter the course of the Mexican Revolution. As a result, the United States seemed on the brink of war with Mexico. An international uproar ensued. The governments of Argentina, Brazil, and Chile offered to mediate a peaceful resolution to the crisis. Surprisingly, both the United States and Mexico accepted their offer and all parties agreed to meet at an international peace conference in Niagara Falls, Ontario. For Canadians, the conference provided an unexpected spectacle on their doorstep, combining high diplomacy and low intrigue around the gardens and cataracts of Canada's most famous natural attraction. For the diplomats involved, it proved to be an ephemeral high point in the nascent pan-American movement. After it ended, the conference dropped out of historical memory. This is the first full account of the Niagara Falls Peace Conference to be published in North America since 1914. The author carefully reconstructs what happened at Niagara Falls, examining its historical significance for Canada's relationship with the Americas. From this almost forgotten event he draws important lessons on the conduct of international mediation and the perils of middle-power diplomacy. ?Karns brings together twelve of the best essays presented at the 1985 meetings of the International Studies Association. The book opens with two fine chapters on international relations theory, paying particular attention to problems of values and dilemmas in quantitative versus qualitative assessments of world politics. Part 2 examines critical theoretical questions of conflict and violence. Special attention is paid to war in essays on foreign policy attitudes and generational differences, the relationship between the structure of the international system and war, and problems of political repression, rebellion, and coercion. The essays in this section mix solid quantitative work with serious theoretical discussion of issues that have guided inquiry in the field. Parts 3 and 4 illustrate the diversity of the field in both its substantive and methodological dimensions. In the former area, essays examine questions of peace and security as well as nonviolent alternatives in international affairs. In the latter area, essays include modeling studies and quantitative comparisons of linear projection studies for issues ranging from population and resource policy to taxation and security policy. Each chapter has a bibliography; there is a helpful index.?-Choice This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
