This short and well-written overview provides essential
information on the history of international organizations (IOs),
with particular focus on the League of Nations, the development of
the United Nations, and the UN system. Starting at the beginning of
the twentieth century, when there were very few international
organizations in existence, "A World Beyond Borders" traces the
growth of IOs through to the close of the century, when there were
literally thousands at the heart of the international system.
Following this chronological order, the book examines how
international organizations became the major legal, moral, and
cultural forces that they are today, involved in all aspects of
international relations including peacekeeping, disarmament, peace
resolution, human rights, diplomacy, and environmentalism.
This book is the first in the Canadian Historical Association /
University of Toronto Press International Themes and Issues Series,
which is dedicated to publishing concise, focused overviews of
topics that are of international significance in the study of
history.
