On a hot summer afternoon in 1928  the leaders of the world assembled in Paris to outlaw war. Within the year  the treaty signed that day  known as the Peace Pact  had been ratified by nearly every state in the world. War  for the first time in history  had become illegal the world over. But the promise of that summer day was fleeting. Within a decade of its signing  each state that had gathered in Paris to renounce war was at war. And in the century that followed  the Peace Pact was dismissed as an act of folly and an unmistakable failure. This book argues that that understanding is inaccurate  and that the Peace Pact ushered in a sustained march toward peace that lasts to this day.  The Internationalists tells the story of the Peace Pact by placing it in the long history of international law from the seventeenth century through the present  tracing this rich history through a fascinating and diverse array of lawyers  politicians and intellectualsHugo Grotius  Nishi Amane  Salmon Levinson  James Shotwell  Sumner Welles  Carl Schmitt  Hersch Lauterpacht  and Sayyid Qutb. It tells of a centuries-long struggle of ideas over the role of war in a just world order. It details the brutal world of conflict the Peace Pact helped extinguish  and the subsequent era where tariffs and sanctions take the place of tanks and gunships.  The Internationalists examines with renewed appreciation an international system that has outlawed wars of aggression and brought unprecedented stability to the world map. Accessible and gripping  this book will change the way we view the history of the twentieth centuryand how we must work together to protect the global order the internationalists fought to make possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945984389173,"sku":"ByrdShop_1501109863","price":35.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781501109867_071ca566-0da4-4802-9fe7-40713b8da55b.jpg?v=1770162141","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-internationalists-how-a-radical-plan-to-outlaw-war-remade-the-world","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
