In the last years of the nineteenth century peace proposals were first stimulated by fear of the danger of war rather than in consequence of its outbreak. In this study of the nature and history of international relations Mr Hinsley presents his conclusions about the causes of war and the development of men's efforts to avoid it. In the first part he examines international theories from the end of the middle ages to the establishment of the League of Nations in their historical setting. This enables him to show how far modern peace proposals are merely copies or elaborations of earlier schemes. He believes there has been a marked reluctance to test these theories not only against the formidable criticisms of men like Rousseau, Kant and Bentham, but also against what we have learned about the nature of international relations and the history of the practice of states. This leads him to the second part of his study - an analysis of the origins of the modern states' system and of its evolution between the eighteenth century and the First World War.

Paperback. Condición: Near Fine. Power and the Pursuit of Peace (1988) by F.H. Hinsley ? Crappy Old Books Dust off your diplomacy skills and dive into Power and the Pursuit of Peace , F.H. Hinsley?s heavyweight study of international relations and the ever-elusive quest for lasting peace. First published in 1988 by Cambridge University Press, this classic dissects the philosophical and political foundations of peace efforts from the 17th century through to the 20th.

This copy comes to you via Crappy Old Books ?so don?t expect mint condition, but do expect character, charm, and just maybe a few mysterious margin notes. Scholarly, scuffed, and surprisingly relevant. Godd solid copy with barely any creasing of the spine, just one faint crease. Nº de ref. del artículo: 4020
