Excerpt from A Study of International Government IN view of American discussion of the League of Nations, beginning with President Wilson's labors in setting up its machinery and the persistent effort which is still being made to induce this country to enter the League, it is both timely and pertinent to consider the historical aspect of the question. The present study of international government is not a plea for or against the present League of Nations per se, but is, as its name implies, an analysis of the efforts at government between and among nations since the dawn of civilization. Its pages endeavor to trace international govern ment from primitive to modern society, bringing out its connection with the present world move ments of nationalism, imperialism, and internation alism. It shows, for example, how the Papacy during the Middle Ages approached a form of inter national government and how modern history has brought a gradual development along the legislative, executive and judicial lines. The historical portions are followed by an analysis of the constitution and achievements of the actual League, and, last of all, by a consideration of its specific problems in the light of economics, biology and social psychology.

Understanding of the theories that underpin international political economy (IPE), and their practical applications, is crucial to the study of international relations, politics, development and economics. This is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with an engaging and coherent foundation to the subject. It considers traditional and alternative approaches to IPE, and in doing so elucidates key concepts, assumptions and the intellectual and historical context in which they arose and developed. At all times, it makes clear their relevance to issues from trade, finance and government, to environment, technology, health, labour, security, migration, development and culture. The book encourages independent reflection and critical thinking through a range of in-text guiding features. In addition, each chapter presents theoretical analysis alongside contemporary issues, helping the reader to relate to the real world of IPE and to better understand how theory helps inform interpretation of it. New to this edition: comprehensively updated to include key coverage of the post-2015 framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, the financial crisis and international government responses - successful or otherwise - to recent challenges; fully updated data, reflective questions, recommended readings, concept and example boxes, and illustrations; new chapters on health, migration and labour; additional coverage of trade theories and key contemporary issues, such as national versus human security, economic versus human development and illegal networks in global trade.

A world government capable of controlling nation-states has never evolved, but governance does underlie order among states and gives direction to problems arising from global interdependence. This book examines the ideological bases and behavioural patterns of this governance without government.
