Synopsis

Explore how a 19th-century push for arbitration reshaped Europe and the quest for lasting peace.

Pax Mundi presents a concise history of the movement for peace through arbitration, law, and disarmament. The work traces the idea that barriers between nations crumble not by force but through dialogue, legal mechanisms, and international cooperation. It examines how economic interdependence, linguistic commonalities, and shared ideals can support peaceful governance and the rule of law among nations.

• Learn how international associations and treaties sought to replace war with arbitration.
• See examples of efforts to create public support, educate citizens, and align governments toward peaceful means.
• Discover institutions and commissions, such as efforts to neutralize regions and regulate cross-border cooperation, that illustrate the path toward a iffected peaceable world.

Ideal for readers drawn to the history of international law, diplomacy, and peaceful conflict resolution, and for those curious about the roots of today’s peace movements.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is natural that the advocates of international Peace should sometimes grow discouraged and impatient through what they are tempted to consider the slow progress of their cause. Sudden outbursts of popular feeling, selfish plans for national aggrandisement, unremoved causes of antipathy between neighbours, lead them to overlook the general tendency of circumstances and opinions which, when it is regarded on a large scale, is sufficient to justify their loftiest hopes. It is this general tendency of thought and fact, corresponding to the maturer growth of peoples, which brings to us the certain assurance that the Angelic Hymn which welcomed the Birth of Christ advances, slowly it may be as men count slowness, but at least unmistakably, towards fulfilment. There are pauses and interruptions in the movement; but, on the whole, no one who patiently regards the course of human history can doubt that we are drawing nearer from generation to generation to a practical sense of that brotherhood and that solidarity of men—both words are necessary—which find their foundation and their crown in the message of the Gospel.
