The notion of internationalism suggests that institution-building
and peaceful co-operation will cause peace and security to prevail
in a system of independent states. This work examines this
controversial topic and asks whether such a view is realistic, or
if international relations are typically characterized by tension
and war. Goldmann seeks to examine the plausibility of
internationalism under present-day conditions. A theory of
internationalism is outlined and is shown to have two dimensions:
one coercive, to enforce the rules and decisions of international
institutions; and one accommodative, to avoid confrontation by
means of mutual understanding and compromise. Problematic features
of the theory are then considered in detail, such as: the
assumption that all international co-operation tends to inhibit
war; and the tension inherent in the joint pursuit of coercion and
accommodation.
