Synopsis

World Peace and Arbitration: Selected Early 20th-Century Writings

A curated collection of articles and debates on international arbitration, disarmament, and the world court. Written to illuminate how law might replace force in settling disputes.

Compiled by Mary Katharine Reely, this volume gathers both affirmative and negative views from the early 1900s. It explores how treaties, courts, and public opinion could shape a more peaceful world, while examining the limits and challenges of disarmament and international law. The book presents practical, era-specific arguments about why peace is desirable, and what would be required to achieve it.

Readers will encounter a mix of perspectives, historical context, and thoughtful analysis that sheds light on the birth of modern debates about world peace and arbitration.

• Foundational discussions on replacing war with international law and arbitration
• Insights into the Hague system, international courts, and peace treaties
• Arguments for and against disarmament, with practical cautions
• Historical case studies and projections about the future of global governance

Ideal for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the roots of international peace efforts and the debates that shaped early 20th‑century diplomacy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Advocates of World Peace have proposed two means for its achievement. One is International A rbitration, the other, Disarmament. Debaters, it is found, have, in most cases, chosen to consider these two means to the same end separately, debating either a question such as: Resolved that an international court of arbitration should be established;. or, Resolved that the time is now ripe for the disarmament of nations. In practice, it is probable that the two would work out together. Nations would not agree to disarm until some satisfactory arrangement had been made for the arbitration of difficulties, while on the other hand, the general practice of resorting to arbitration would make the continued maintenance of armaments unnecessary. It was decided, therefore, that this handbook should cover the whole subject of world peace, making the question one of the substitution of law for force, with arbitration and disarmament considered as joint means to that end. Debaters may still prefer to divide the question; in which case they will find in this volume material bearing on either phase that they may choose. The work was begun with the thought that the question would turn on the possibility of bringing about world peace. It was learned with some surprise that a strong case is still made out by militarists against its desirability. War is still extolled as a nursery for the manly virtues, and the scope of this book has accordingly been broadened to cover the affirmative and negative sides to this contention. M. KR. May,
