Through a critical evaluation of the works of Norman Angell and
David Mitrany, this book explores the liberal roots of the academic
discipline of International Relations (IR). Ashworth argues that,
far from being the product of timeless realist truths, IR's origins
are rooted in liberal attempts to reform international affairs.
Norman Angell's work represents the first attempt to develop a
comprehensive 'new liberal' approach to the problem of global
governance, while David Mitrany's exploration of the problems of
international life led him to apply the left-liberal idea of
functional government to global governance. Both writers
demonstrated the extent to which early twentieth century liberal
writers on international affairs had answered the critics of
earlier nineteenth century liberal internationalists. The
penultimate chapter argues that the realist-idealist 'Great Debate'
never happened, and that liberal scholars such as Angell and
Mitrany have been unfairly dismissed as 'idealists.' The final
chapter evaluates the writings of Angell and Mitrany and claims
that the works of both authors can be criticised for theoretical
weaknesses common to the liberal paradigm.
