Description
International Relations, or the study if the "behaviour of states," is a new discipline that has become increasingly vital in this century. Professor Frankel writes: "Thinkers have been traditionally concerned mainly with state governments, with the relations between the individual and authority"; consequently, their theories "have only limited application to a society of states." An examination of international society as a whole, and of its institutions, is the principal concern of this book. State-power and its expression through diplomacy, propaganda, economics, and military force are outlined. The current problems of international society-the cold war balance of power, the nuclear dilemma, anti-colonialism-are discussed, as well as the instruments of international society, the United Nations in particular, that have developed as agencies for the maintenance of world peace and co-operation" - Publisher.
