Towards International Government (Routledge Revivals)

<p>First published in 1915 <i>Towards International Government</i> considers the consequences of war for global diplomacy and the alliance system. Hobson argues that to reduce armaments and the possibility of another world war an organisational structure of international government must be put into place. An extension of the League of Nations Hobson proposes that this council would need to hold legislative powers enabling it to impose economic sanctions and if necessary the ability to deploy an international force. This is a fascinating and exceptionally forward-thinking work of great importance to economic and political historians of the twentieth century.</p>
