Originally published in 1961, this is an extremely valuable
contribution to the understanding of contemporary international
institutions and the working of the British system of government.
It deals with the problems presented to British Government
Departments by the emergence in the post-war world of a number of
new international organisations which are concerned with European
recovery and integration and with the development of the Atlantic
Community of Nations.
This book traces the British share in the creation of the
Council of Europe, OEC, NATO, and WEU, and deals with the relations
between Britain and the Coal and Steel Community, the Common Market
and Euratom.
Finally, the book assesses the impact of these activities upon
the government at home and the extent to which the public
appreciates the change in Britain's international status that has
resulted from these developments.
First published in 1997, this book explores the upheavals within
the Soviet Union that ended the Cold War balance of terror and
forced an attempt to create market economies and democratic
policies in the Western ideological mould. . The 10 chapters of
this book, reprints of Conflict Studies between 1989 and 1994, deal
with particular internal issues within the former Soviet Union and
its successor states, with their relations with each other and with
their neighbours in Europe. They include changes between civil and
military authorities, especially in Russia and the Ukraine and to
implications for nuclear and conventional disarmament as well for
foreign policy in general.
This re-issued work, first published in 1959, is a collection of
essays by British historian Max Beloff, designed to help us to
understand and interpret the political problems of the twentieth
century. The essays are divided into three key areas: the
challenges and limitations of interpretation from a historian's
perspective, the appropriate scale for political activity and
organisation in the modern world, and the emergence of the United
States of America as the most powerful nation on the planet.

The end of eighteenth century is often regarded as the watershed
between the feudal Europe of the Middle Ages and the modern Europe
of the nineteenth century and beyond. The chronology covered in
this title, first published in 1954, is vast, but covers an
intellectually stimulating and exciting period of European history.
The pinnacle of absolute monarchy is cemented in Louis XIV's
France, eventually giving way to reform and revolution; the Russian
Empire becomes an important player on the Western stage under Peter
I and Catherine the Great; America achieves independence; and, the
ideas of the Enlightenment begin to change the intellectual and
religious landscape. Max Beloff analyses the period in fascinating
detail in a now reissued title that will be of particular interest
to students of Early Modern History, Politics and European
diplomacy.
