Description: The often-violent realities of international relations in the post-World War II era have challenged Winston Churchill's characterization of the United Nations as a "temple of peace." In this volume, nine experts examine the modern history of international relations in order to shed light on their prospective futures.
Review Quotes: "An optimistic volume that concludes it is quite premature to talk about the imminent demise of the liberal postwar order. Anyone with a serious interest in global affairs will benefit from reading these inspiring contributions."--Klaus Larres, coeditor of Understanding Global Politics: Actors and Themes in International Affairs
