As the centenary of the Treaty of Versailles approaches, this book
presents the pre-1914 precursors to the interwar naval arms
treaties arising from the peace of 1919, providing a fresh
perspective on arms control efforts through an interdisciplinary
approach. Interweaving historical investigation with legal
analysis, Scott Keefer traces the British role in the development
of naval arms control, outlining the pragmatic Foreign Office
approaches towards international law. By emphasizing what was
possible within the existing legal system rather than attempting to
create radically powerful international institutions, statesmen
crafted treaties to exploit the unique pace of naval construction.
Utilizing previously-overlooked archival resources, this book
investigates how the great powers exploited treaties as elements of
national security strategies. The result is a fuller analysis of
the Hague Peace Conferences, Anglo-German discussions, and lesser
known regional agreements from the American Great Lakes to South
America, and a richer exploration of pre-1914 diplomacy, providing
insights into how a past generation perceived questions of war and
defence.
