The Problem of Foreign Policy (Classic Reprint): A Consideration of Present Dangers and the Best Methods for Meeting Them: A Consideration of Present ... Methods for Meeting Them (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Exploring the road to a safer world after World War I. This analysis examines what went wrong in foreign policy, the costs of war, and how the League of Nations could change the course of history for nations and people alike.
The author surveys key moments, choices, and consequences from the postwar era. It argues for a shift from wartime mindsets to peaceful cooperation, and it outlines the Covenant’s ideas for preventing future wars through transparency, arbitration, and collective security. The book weighs the responsibilities of leaders, the actions of governments, and the hope that a united international order can offer real remedies for oppression and conflict.
- How war reshaped politics and the moral climate of nations
- The role and limits of the League of Nations in safeguarding peace
- Mechanisms like mandates, labour standards, and arbitration that aim to prevent future wars
- The tension between national interests and global cooperation, and what true leadership would require
Ideal for readers of history and international affairs who want a clear view of the era’s pressing questions and the proposed remedies for lasting peace.

Excerpt from The Problem of Foreign Policy: A Consideration of Present Dangers and the Best Methods for Meeting Them
But what is needed most is a return to a standard of public conduct which was prae tised, or at least recognized, by the best Gov ernments of the world before the war, and which now seems to have been shaken, if not shattered. I am not demanding in any wild idealist spirit that Governments should act ac cording to the Sermon on the Mount though they well might study it a good deal more than they do. I am only saying that they must get back to the standard of veracity, of consistency.

Excerpt from The Problem of Foreign Policy: A Consideration of Present Dangers and the Best Methods for Meeting Them
But I am conscious of a certain change of emphasis in my feeling. Before the war I was eager for large and sweeping reforms, I was intolerant of Conservatism and I laughed at risks. The social order had then such a margin of strength that risks could safely be taken. Now I feel a need above all things of the qualties that will preserve civilization. For that preservation, of course, Liberality in the full sense is necessary, and constant progress and a great development of democracy.
But what is needed most is a return to a standard of public conduct which was practised, or at least recognized, by the best Governments of the world before the war, and which now seems to have been shaken, if not shattered. I am not demanding in any wild idealist spirit that Government should act according to the Sermon of the Mount - though they well might study it a good deal more than they do.
