This collection examines various aspects of the efforts made to
limit warfare through arms limitation and disarmament agreements in
the period from the first Hague conference to the outbreak of World
War II in Europe. The issue for each contributor is not necessarily
to show whether individual endeavors, separate conferences, and the
rest were successful or unsuccessful--though this is an important
consideration. Rather, each chapter tends to offer differing points
of view on accomplishments and failures because, as is so often the
experience in historical study, the record is mixed; and this
situation is certainly no less characteristic of arms limitation
and disarmament between 1899 and 1939.
Written by experts on disarmament issues, these chapters put
into historical perspective how and why the effort, to restrain war
were undertaken at the Hague conferences, the Washington
conference, and among antiwar groups. Each contributor approaches
this task using the method he or she deems most appropriate. Some
employ an historiographical approach; others undertake to produce
analyses based heavily on archival holdings in order to offer new
interpretations of the past or revise existing ones. This book will
be of interest to students and teachers alike of modern history and
political science.
