(P/B) GOVERNING THE WORLD

Παρουσίαση

Mark Mazower's acclaimed book recreates two centuries of international government - the struggle to bring order to an anarchic and dangerous world. From the plans for peace that arose out of the Napoleonic Wars to our present institutions, it shows how what started as a European story became the framework for today's world, as free traders, communists, utopians and nationalists all put forward their own radical visions of global harmony.
Governing the World brilliantly shows how far ideas of international cooperation have developed, and how our faith in them is now waning. At a time when the UN is widely discredited, American power is diminishing and global finance dominates, can anyone really govern the world? (From the publisher)
