How do nations move from rivalry to lasting peace? This book argues that true peace rests on democratic cooperation, enforceable rights for minorities, and a global approach to education and governance. It offers a clear vision for a political order where nations unite to protect life, liberty, and opportunity for all people.
Through historical insight and a practical framework, the work explains how geographical and economic realities shape national boundaries, and why a trans‑national authority is needed to safeguard minority rights and enforce fair agreements. It outlines the conditions for a democratic commonwealth of nationalities and how education can reduce bias and conflict in the long run.
Ideal for readers interested in history, politics, and the search for a practical path to global harmony.

Excerpt from The Structure of Lasting Peace: An Inquiry Into the Motives of War and Peace
To my dear friend, Mr. George Bernard Donlin, editor of the Dial, of Chicago, this little essay owes its inception and completion. Early in the fall of 1917 he urged me to set down for the Dial these opinions of a pragmatist on the meaning of the state, its bearing on the nature and hopes of man, and on the possible future of international relations. I have done so, as well as I knew how, amid the stress and confusion of many other enterprises, each with an insistent claim on my attention. What here appears is reprinted substantially as was given to the public in the columns of the Dial. There is much that I should have liked, had circumstances been favorable, to have formulated otherwise, much that needs elaboration and expansion, not a little that since the essay was completed has been invalidated by events.
Its main thesis, however, stands, confirmed and strengthened.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a new foundation for international peace based on national democratic principles to thwart the extreme nationalism that leads to war. The author argues that the international community has failed to establish a lasting peace due to outdated principles and a lack of democratic influence. The book reviews the historical evolution of the concept of nationality and the way sovereignty has been wielded by both dynastic and democratic governments, showing how it has often been used to repress or exploit other nationalities. The author posits that a lasting peace requires a new system where sovereignty is subordinate to democratic principles and international cooperation. By emphasizing the interdependence of nations and the importance of respecting national identities, this book offers a timely and thought-provoking vision for a more just and peaceful world order.
