The League of Nations occupies a fascinating yet paradoxical place
in human history. Over time, it's come to symbolize both a path to
peace and to war, a promising vision of world order and a utopian
illusion, an artifact of a bygone era and a beacon for one that may
still come. As the first experiment in world organization, the
League played a pivotal, but often overlooked role in the creation
of the United Nations and the modern architecture of global
governance. In contrast to conventional accounts, which chronicle
the institution's successes and failures during the interwar
period, Cottrell explores the enduring relevance of the League of
Nations for the present and future of global politics. He asks:
What are the legacies of the League experiment? How do they inform
current debates on the health of global order and US leadership? Is
there a "dark side" to these legacies? Cottrell demonstrates how
the League of Nations' soul continues to shape modern international
relations, for better and for worse. Written in a manner accessible
to students of international history, international relations and
global politics, it will also be of interest to graduates and
scholars.
