Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Value of Knowledge in International Relations: An Address Given by the Right Hon. Viscount Grey of Fallodon, K. G
And then another experience I had was this. You may not at first see exactly how it is relevant to this movement, but I will explain why I think it worth mention. While I was in Washington there took place an International Industrial Conference organised under the League of Nations. America, for reasons which we need not record, was not represented at that Industrial Conference, and it was therefore very incomplete, but in spite of that it was interesting. There were delegates Of employers and delegates Of trade union's - including both men and women - and I saw something of them during and at the close of the Conference; and the way they spoke Of the work Of that Conference had a ring of solid interest and satisfaction with their experience that was very remark able and very convincing. I came to the conclusion that that International Conference must have had a very greateffect in improving international understanding, a much greater effect probably than many a conference which is called with the direct Object Of promoting good inter national understanding. The object Of that conference was industrial. I think it was precisely because it was called to discuss not the political relations between nations but certain aspects Of industrial life, the labour question in different countries; and because people came together to discuss a practical part Of international life, to compare their difficulties, to endeavour to arrive at practical co operation on one aspect of international life, that the conference had solid results. Now, does not that apply to university women and men coming together? They come together not necessarily with a direct political Object; they come together on the common ground Of university life and work; and having this practical basis which is common to them all, they have a starting point which gives them more opportunity Of understanding each other - each other's minds - than if they merely met for a political conference to promote good international under standing.

Excerpt from The Value of Knowledge in International Relations: An Address Given by the Right Hon. Viscount Grey of Fallodon, K. G
I suppose what we all feel is an intense desire never to have again a war 'like the war we have just passedthrough. But, to avoid it, it is essential not merely that there should be good relations between governments, but that there should be good relations between peoples. All the' great nations of the world are, or we hope soon will be, democratic nations. That means that it will be in the power of the peoples to prevent the governments going to war; but it also means that the governments will not have the power to prevent war unless the peoples themselves are alert, determined and active to keep the peace. Now the only sure basis of peace, that I can see, is international understanding. That is what your movement is intended to promote; and in helping it I am sure you can do an incalculable amount of good. Your movement is not going to be limited to good understanding between English-speaking peoples; you rightly wish it to be world wide. And, therefore, I would ask you to bear in mind that if I happen to give, in the course of what I am going to say, illustrations drawn more particularly from British and American experience, I am using these because they are illustrations that come naturally to me after having been some three months in the United States. I am using them as illustrations and not with the idea that this movement is exclusively concerned with the English speaking peoples.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the integral role of knowledge and understanding in fostering peaceful international relations. The author argues that genuine international peace cannot be achieved by governments alone. There needs to be a solid foundation of understanding among the people of different nations. True understanding can only be born out of honest, open-minded dialogue, free from bias and prejudice. This book encourages organizations like universities to promote international understanding through the exchange of professors and students between different countries. It stresses the importance of knowing and acknowledging both the good and bad sides of each nation, and of re-writing history textbooks in a way that reflects the realities of modern warfare. In promoting sincere, fact-based dialogue, the author emphasizes the immense potential of universities and other organizations to foster international goodwill and prevent future conflicts. Ultimately, this book highlights the paramount importance of education and open communication in building lasting international peace.
