Description and Table of Contents
Description
The League of Nations was the first globally recognized inter-governmental body that attempted to organise peace comprehensively. It addressed not only the traditional security areas of military balances and diplomacy, including the peaceful settlement of international disputes, but also aimed at removing the very causes of war by promoting social and economic justice (specifically by addressing the welfare of vulnerable people). In many ways decades ahead of its time, the League broke the mould as a mechanism for 'doing international relations'. New to the Seminar Studies in History Series, it contains valuable primary source material, a Glossary, Bibliography and Who's Who.
