Book Description
Excerpt from An Introduction to World Politics AT the beginning of the World War I wrote a book about the relations among the great powers during the years immediately preceding the assassination at Serajevo. The New Map of Europe dealt particularly with Near Eastern problems and wars and with the foreign policies of Russia, austria-hungary, Germany, and Italy in the events affect ing the Balkan States, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and the countries on the. African littoral of the Mediterranean. The purpose of the book was to attempt to explain how the relations among the great powers were vitally influenced by the conflict of interests that arose in their diplomatic and economic activities in the regions formerly under the exclusive domination of the Ottoman sultans. The recep tion accorded The New Map of Europe encouraged me to complete the survey of contemporary international rela tions by writing The New Map of Africa in 1916 and The New Map of Asia in 1919. The latter two volumes outlined the development of European overlordship in Africa and Asia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from International Politics It is outside the province of an introductory study to offer solutions of political problems and, therefore, the whole book is a statement of fact and an expression of doubt rather than the exposition of a doctrine, programme or policy. The need of the general public and even of some statesmen appears to be not so much the inculcation of a gospel as instruction in an alphabet: for ignorance of facts, not ill-will, appears to be the greatest obstacle to progress in regard to international affairs. This, however, does not imply that -the book is intended to be quite colourless as regards the solution of the problems described. A certain ve definite attitude has been adopted; and certain very efinite conclusions are implied in regard to some issues. For example, it is quite clearly supposed that the interest of all nations is not to be found by the ancient process of each seeking its own and it is implied, without adequate evidence offered here because the evidence is regarded as obvious, that war is an altogether evil institution and a useless political method. Even such assumptions and conclusions need not be accepted by the reader. They are mentioned in this preface simply in order that the reader may be on his guard for it is con siderably better that he should think for himself than that he should agree with the author of any book.

Book Description
Excerpt from World Politics at the End of the Nineteenth Century: As Influenced by the Oriental Situation It has been the intention of the writer in the present volume to gather into a harmonious picture the multitude of facts and considerations that go to make up international politics at the present time. The treatment is of necessity suggestive rather than exhaustive, but it is believed that, while at present no complete historical judgment as to the great forces at work could be delivered, still the far-reaching importance and dramatic interest of present developments would justify the attempt to obtain a bird's-eye view. These considerations indicate the purpose as well as the necessary limitations of the present work. While the author has, in every case, sifted his evidence and attempted to found his judgments on unimpeachable testimony, the subject is so vast that only the paradoxical specialist in all fields could avoid just criticism. The author has, however, attempted to keep himself entirely free from a priori conceptions and prejudices, and to view the great drama of contemporary life as an unimpassioned beholder who forbears to censure or commend. The plan of the book may need a word of explanation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of International Organization In the pages which follow I have attempted to do three distinct things. First, I have tried to show that international organization is not a new thing in world history, - nor a reform proposed for the future, - but a political system of long standing which deserves to be studied as such. Second, I have tried to show how this standing system of international organization has expanded and developed, particularly in the past century, and to set forth the causes which will probably lead to a continuation and intensification of that process in the future. Finally, I have expressed the conviction that such a process is salutary, in that it meets a real need of the world today, and have attempted to make some suggestions regarding steps which might profitably be taken in the improvement and development of the existing institutions of international government. The task of recording and explaining existing international institutions and practices becomes daily more difficult, because of the rapidity with which activities in this field are being expanded. In every branch of international organization dealt with in this volume, particularly in Parts V, VI, and VII, new steps are constantly being taken, and it is almost impossible for the student to keep himself informed of these advances, to say nothing of digesting and recording all the information relating to these matters which comes pouring in through official documents, current newspapers and periodicals, and private writings.

Book Description
Excerpt from Political Realism and the Crisis of World Politics: An American Approach to Foreign Policy Foreign policy. If this dialogue is maintained free of the un natural restraints or untimely restrictions that self-acknowl edged sources of authority or conformity seek to impose on every generation, the future of the Republic will be brighter and more hopeful. Each successive generation of observers and interpreters carries the heavy burden of appraising and, if necessary, correcting or enlarging the reach and grasp of those who have gone before. I see the contribution of the political realists in this light. I am confident that each of them would point to the unfinished tasks of broadening and deep ening the realist tradition. In the end, I conceive my study as a primer or introduction to the main currents of a single challenging approach to the perplexing issues of contemporary foreign policy. I could wish that younger scholars in par ticular might draw from the broad outlines and unsolved problems of this approach an agenda for vigorous reflection and research. My own hope and intent for the future would be to find a place among those who, in William James's well chosen phrase stubbornly attempt to think clearly, wherever the evidence may lead them. In this respect, political realism is an invitation to seek the truth and not a termination of free inquiry. It provides a framework and not a doctrine, a set of hypotheses rather than a list of answers. The pages that follow have been written in this spirit and I would profoundly hope might be read this way, however emphatic or outspoken I have been at certain points in explanation or analysis.

The latter two volumes outlined the development of European overlordship in Africa and Asia. None who lived in daily contact with international questions, and who was reporting from the spot wars and rumors of wars during the decade before 1914, could be satisfied with the prevalent idea that it was unnecessary to go farther back than the famous "twelve days" of diplomatic correspondence, from July 20 to August 2, 1914, to settle the responsibility for the World War. However great the guilt of the Imperial German and Austro-Hungarian governments for deliberately forcing the war upon Europe, their power was not so great that their will alone could have led us into the calamities of 1914-18.
