Navari Cornelia. Internationalism and the State in the Twentieth Century

Routledge, 2000. — 373 p.During the twentieth century, formal links between governments have become much more intense, reflecting a growing emphasis on internationalism and the world community. There has been a multi-layered transformation in the relations between states, at both a social and a diplomatic level. This has resulted in, amongst other changes, an increase in the number of international organisations and collective security arrangements and an expansion in international law. This text examines closely the development of this phenomenon, from its roots before the founding of the League of Nations in 1919 to its present-day forms. Through her analysis of power relations, material changes and developments in ideologies, Cornelia Navari provides an accessible and student-friendly historical introduction to the changing relations between states. The subjects which she covers include long-term trends relating to war, the changing balance of power, decolonisation, the European system and the Cold War. This volume is essential reading for all those interested in the history of International Relations in the twentieth century.The long trends.
