In this volume, Fredrick Lister examines security confederations
of the modern eras; America's confederal union during the winning
of the Revolutionary War; Switzerland's in post-Napoleonic Europe;
and Germany's during the turbulence of the Austro-Prussian
Confrontation whose outcome transformed the European political
scene. Lister concludes with an evaluation of the possibility that
confederal-type ties might one day serve as a basis for global
union.
After setting forth the nature of confederal-type governance,
Lister provides three case studies that follow on the evolution of
confederal political institutions in the United States,
Switzerland, and Germany. Each section ends with a series of
conclusions on the confederation examined. A thorough examination
of a long-neglected subject that will be of interest to scholars,
students, and researchers involved with world government and
international relations.
