Publisher's Synopsis
This book deals with the theories of global interdependence that were developed by Norman Angell (1872û1967), Ramsey Muir (1872û1941), Francis Delaisi (1873û1947) Charles E. Merriam (1874û1953) and David Mitrany (1888û1977) and the contribution that their work makes to a better theoretical understanding of the causes of war and the conditions of peace. The book gives an answer to those who consider contemporary interdependence theory a mere repetition of pre-war idealism. By describing an intellectual history that has been generally neglected the author adds new arguments to the debate on the feasibility of a security policy based on the deliberate extension of specific types of interdependence. - -
