The compelling and provocative history of world government, from acclaimed author Mark Mazower
Shortlisted for the RUSI 2013 Duke of Wellington Medal for Military Literature
In 1815 the shocked and exhausted victors of the decades of fighting that had engulfed Europe for a generation agreed to a new system for keeping the peace. Instead of independent states changing sides, doing deals and betraying one another, a new, collegial 'Concert of Europe' would ensure that the brutal chaos of the Napoleonic Wars never happened again.
Mark Mazower's remarkable new book recreates two centuries of international government - the struggle to spread values and build institutions to bring order to an anarchic and dangerous state system.

Simply for giving us this lucid account, Mazower deserves our gratitude. But Governing the World is also an intriguing read because of the strong argument he places within it ... This new work certainly gave this reviewer an awful lot to think about - to an author, there may be no greater praise than that (Paul Kennedy Financial Times)Mazower has strengthened his claim to be the preeminent historian of a generation. Combining breathtaking originality with meticulous and gloriously eclectic research, he offers the most convincing explanation yet articulated for the exaggerated, even hysterical, expectations of the 1990s and the subsequent collapse of optimism after the Millennium now translated into a fear that grips large parts of the Western world. On rare occasions, a work of history emerges that not only fundamentally refashions our understanding of the past, it enables us to reassess the present and, with luck, influence our future. I advise everyone who is concerned about our precarious situation to learn from and absorb Mazower's remarkable achievement (Misha Glenny)Governing Europe, and then the whole world ... this idea has found its perfect chronicler in Mark Mazower, whose perceptions are cosmopolitan, humane, learned, and properly skeptical. What is more, his history is written in clear, elegant prose. Essential reading not just for historians, but anyone interested in the troubled world we live in (Ian Buruma)Bursting with ideas about present and future as well as past (Stephen Howe Independent BOOKS OF THE YEAR)This is a book that needed to be written ... [Governing the World] is truly illuminating ... The story is a fascinating one, and Mazower tells it with authority and verve (Adam Zamoyski Literary Review)A prodigious work: a master historian's reconstruction of how individuals and nations since 1815 have sought to promote national interests in ever more complicated international settings. A dramatic, novel account of ideas and institutions in collision with hard realities. Indispensable also for its full and subtle account of American policies since 1917, always with a fine touch for the hitherto neglected person or little noticed moment that illuminates historic processes. Profound, relevant, and morally instructive - and a pleasure to read (Fritz Stern)Mazower is a man of immense erudition, a real scholar ... [A] remarkable book ... Reading him is like being lectured by the best left-wing professor you'll ever have. Or like reading the best foreign affairs writer the Guardian or the Nation has to offer ... You can learn a lot from him (Standpoint)The idea of global government has entranced the world for centuries. Mark Mazower's brilliant book shows how much effort has gone into this idea - and how futile it has mostly been in an era of individualism and growing divisiveness (Alan Brinkley)Présentation de l'éditeurThe compelling and provocative history of world government, from acclaimed author Mark MazowerShortlisted for the RUSI 2013 Duke of Wellington Medal for Military LiteratureIn 1815 the shocked and exhausted victors of the decades of fighting that had engulfed Europe for a generation agreed to a new system for keeping the peace.

1 internautes sur 1 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile.The elusive search for world peace.Par laurens van den muyzenbergThe author has examined in great detail the philosophical, ideological, legalist and political movements that since 1815 believed world peace was within reach. The most notable ones, the League of Nations, Communism, Nazism, the United Nations and the European Union on a more modest scale. All failed.He believes the world in moving in the wrong direction. He points out that the Second World War mobilized entire societies around shared perils and experiences by creating models of equity, solidarity and sacrifice, transformed public attitudes in ways that endured into peacetime. However since the early 1980 this spirit declined. Until that time people made money from producing and exchanging goods rather than from money itself.With global financialization,"The future has been privatized, monetized and into a source of profit." The politicians have become policy makers, who listen in the first place to private interests and their lobbyists.This development has eroded the capability politician to lead their countries. The author sees sovereignty as good, if I understand the author correctly, when political leaders lead with the right values as he referred to be the situation after the end of the Second World War. Now, political leaders have given up lead their countries because they think they are "powerless." He writes. “The fundamental nineteen century's insight that effective internationalism rests on effective nationalism remains pertinent" to which be added "an urgent need of renovation". The author does not describe what this renovation should be other than return to the values of after the war of equity, solidarity and sacrifice for he common good. Without such a "revolution" is demanded by the citizens he claims, "politicians will not change".These are thoughts to be taken seriously. My hope is that at some political leaders will emerge that can change the spirit rather than waiting for citizens demanding it. That demand is unlikely to develop spontaneously, unless there is a financial collapse with the second great depression or the third world war.
