    Building on the success of the previous edition (Versailles to Maastricht: International Organisation in the Twentieth Century), this book is a valuable introduction to the complex history of modern international organization. While particular attention is paid to the League of Nations, the United Nations and the European Union, there are also chapters on the new regionalism, global governance and international regimes and global civil society. The book's approach is thematic and analytical, while providing a succinct factual account of the main developments in international organizations.

  • Chamberlain and appeasement : British policy and the coming of the Second World War

    3,3(21)Abgeben

    A fresh, lively, but controversial account of Neville Chamberlain's personality, this book considers Chamberlain in light of British policy before World War II. Well-liked and admired by his close associates, Chamberlain worked hard, intelligently, and perceptively. Yet he arguably helped to bring Britain to the edge of disaster.Chamberlain persisted in negotiating with the Third Reich long after most other observers thought his policy had failed. He always had good reasons for his reactions. But the appeasement policy was, in fact, one of the most ambitious ever pursued by a British statesman in an attempt to remodel Europe to fit British interests.In his book Parker suggests there were alternatives to Chamberlain's policy and that these alternatives might have prevented the onset of war. Using archival documents which have only lately become available to scholars, Parker analyses the policy of appeasement and the events that led up to the Second World War.

  • France and the Origins of the Second World War

    France's drift into war and subsequent collapse have often been attributed to her level of confidence. Either she had too much, or too little. This work contends that these two moods were not mutually exclusive, that they coexisted throughout the interwar years, sustained by competing visions of the Republic and of the best way to ensure national security. Early chapters describe the tensions within French interwar foreign policy, as well as the ensuing historiographical tensions among scholars intent on interpreting the French experience. Subsequent chapters explore tensions in defence and economic policies, domestic politics and ideological allegiance, public attitudes and opinion.
