Description
During the first half of the twentieth century, world politics was reshaped in pursuit of a new international order.
The ideological foundations of the 'new diplomacy' and its fate during the interwar period are well known. Instruments of International Order instead examines the practices of internationalism and diplomacy from the First Hague Conference of 1899 to the aftermath of the Second World War.
By focusing on these practices, such as disarmament regimes or public diplomacy, and their use as instruments to build international order(s), the book emphasises the constructed, contested, and experimental character of what subsequently became a standard repertoire of international politics.
Essays from a range of interdisciplinary scholars address well-established principles such as self-determination, and also less prominent practices such as small arms control or parliamentary inquiry. The book makes a major contribution to the growing historiography on twentieth-century internationalism.

Negotiating identity conflicts in a fragmenting world order
Rapid systemic change within and across nations disrupts traditional identity formation processes, and how identity groups manage their differences. Fragmentation—a breakdown at many levels along many divides—is the consequence of a world now comprised of multiple identity groups making maximalist claims on their governments and each other. At an international level, a new tripolar imperialism is in evidence. Globalisation is...Hardback$42500Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
