Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Neutralization of States: A Study in Diplomatic History and International Law The purpose of this monograph is to present the historical development of the institution known as Permanent Neutrality as applied to states, together with the chief problems which have arisen for solution in the states which have been placed under that regime; and to show how such problems have been handled. Permanent Neutrality though frequently regarded of but slight importance, has, in reality, played a very important part in European history. An understanding of its principles and interpretation is absolutely essential for an appreciation of the history of Switzerland, of Belgium, and of Luxemburg; and these small states have played in European affairs a part out of all proportion to their size. The field was suggested to the author when investigating an allied subject. He was surprised to find that Permanent Neutrality, although the subject of a careful study by Piccioni in French and by Richter in German, had apparently never been written up in the English language. The subject seemed particularly opportune because of the marked increase in interest in America in Belgium and her history, but this item played no part in determining its selection. The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Professor John Bassett Moore, Hamilton Fish Professor of International Law and Diplomacy in Columbia University, for invaluable advice both on the subject matter and the arrangement of the dissertation. His suggestions on the section dealing with Samoan affairs were especially helpful. His gratitude is also due to Professor Munroe Smith, and to Mr. Henry Fraser Munro, under whose inspiring leadership he was privileged to work during his stay at Columbia; and to his friend. Professor Harry James Carman, of Columbia College, for his interest and constant encouragement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Surviving Imperial Intrigues

Download or read book Surviving Imperial Intrigues written by Sangpil Jin and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2021-07-31 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Surviving Imperial Intrigues, Sangpil Jin explores how successful Korean neutralization could have radically transformed the balance of power equation in East Asia. He conducted multilocational archival work, analyzing documents from the Austro-Hungarian Empire Ministry of Foreign Affairs, British Foreign Office, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, German Foreign Office, Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Russian Foreign Office, Russian State Naval Archive, and US State Department, as well as perusing private papers and newspapers. What surfaced in these readings were disparate voices of multiple actors and their agendas concerning Korean neutrality and dynamic international relations in modern East Asia. Jin argues that although never implemented, Korean neutralization had the potential to succeed during the British occupation of Kŏmundo (1885–1887). He further points out that neutralization has recently resurfaced as a possible option for a unified Korean state to preserve its strategic flexibility amidst the US pivot to Asia and China’s re-emergence as a potential hegemon in the region. While neutralization is the focal point of the book, Jin also analyzes Korea’s complex and layered relations with China, Japan, Russia, and the United States, within the overall framework of Sino-Japanese, Anglo-Russian, and Russo-Japanese rivalries. A periphery state in the contemporary international system, Korea was forced to navigate through intricate diplomatic relations with major imperial powers. Jin skillfully directs his academic lens toward understanding the stories behind Korea’s contentious relations and the rivalries among the powers. The timespan of his study stretching from 1882 to 1907 reflects his unique periodization that offers a groundbreaking view of Korean diplomatic history from a more regional geography paradigm. In recent years, contemporary South Korea has been learning to reassess its strategic position in the emerging Sino–US bipolarity in the Asia-Pacific region. This book serves as a historical guide for both specialists and policymakers who require a nuanced grasp of the new era of geopolitical shift, likely dominated by the two powers (China and the United States) that possess a distinct understanding of the norms and structure of the international order.

Book Sustainable Security

Download or read book Sustainable Security written by Jeremi Suri and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world shifts away from the unquestioned American hegemony that followed in the wake of the Cold War, the United States is likely to face new kinds of threats and sharper resource constraints than it has in the past. However, the country's alliances, military institutions, and national security strategy have changed little since the Cold War. American foreign and defense policies, therefore, should be assessed for their fitness for achieving sustainable national security amidst the dynamism of the international political economy, changing domestic politics, and even a changing climate. This book brings together sixteen leading scholars from across political science, history, and political economy to highlight a range of American security considerations that deserve a larger role in both scholarship and strategic decision-making. In these chapters, scholars of political economy and the American defense budget examine the economic engine that underlies U.S. military might and the ways the country deploys these vast (but finite) resources. Historians illuminate how past great powers coped with changing international orders through strategic and institutional innovations. And regional experts assess America's current long-term engagements, from NATO to the chaos of the Middle East to the web of alliances in Asia, deepening understandings that help guard against both costly commitments and short-sighted retrenchments. This interdisciplinary volume sets an agenda for future scholarship that links politics, economics, and history in pursuit of sustainable security for the United States - and greater peace and stability for Americans and non-Americans alike.

Book Worlds of Uncertainty

Download or read book Worlds of Uncertainty written by Peter Haldén and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years we have faced huge uncertainty and unpredictability across the world: Covid-19, political turbulence, climate change and war in Europe, among many other events. Through a historical analysis of worldviews, Peter Haldén provides nuance to the common belief in an uncertain world by showing the predictable nature of modern society and arguing that human beings create predictability through norms, laws, trust and collaboration. Haldén shows that, since the Renaissance, two worldviews define Western civilization: first, that the world is knowable and governed by laws, regularities, mechanisms or plan, hence it is possible to control and the future is possible to foresee; second, that the world is governed by chance, impossible to predict and control and therefore shocks and surprises are inevitable. Worlds of Uncertainty argues that between these two extremes lie positions that recognize the principal unpredictability of the world but seek pragmatic ways of navigating through it.

Book The Cambridge History of America and the World  Volume 4  1945 to the Present

Download or read book The Cambridge History of America and the World Volume 4 1945 to the Present written by David C. Engerman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 903 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines the heights of American global power in the mid-twentieth century and how challenges from at home and abroad altered the United States and its role in the world. The second half of the twentieth century marked the pinnacle of American global power in economic, political, and cultural terms, but even as it reached such heights, the United States quickly faced new challenges to its power, originating both domestically and internationally. Highlighting cutting-edge ideas from scholars from all over the world, this volume anatomizes American power as well as the counters and alternatives to 'the American empire.' Topics include US economic and military power, American culture overseas, human rights and humanitarianism, third-world internationalism, immigration, communications technology, and the Anthropocene.
