Internationalism and the State in the Twentieth Century describes the major changes in state relations which have occurred during the present century and the sources from which they emerged. It looks at the following areas, considering their contribution to an emergent new international society made up of diverse international organisations, and increasingly complex legal and customary international norms: population growth patterns of production and consumption economic developments and war new political ideologies new patterns of governance. It also looks at state strategies in terms of these developments and how the choices of the major powers took states in the direction of increasing internationalisation of domestic politics and economics. This book will prove an invaluable introduction to both the structures of modern international relations and the debates which those structures have engendered.
