Summary

"This book sheds new light on a momentous transformation process that changed the world: the struggle to create, for the first time, a modern Atlantic order in the long 20th century (1860-2020). Placing it in a broader historical context, it reinterprets the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 as the first attempt to found such an order. And it illuminates in a newly comprehensive way why, despite remarkable learning-processes, it proved impossible to forge a lasting Atlantic peace after the crucial catastrophe of the long 20th century, the First World War. It not only changes our understanding of the significance and far-reaching consequences this epochal struggle had for Europe, the United States and the world. It also shows how formative it was for ideas of modern peace and order that have had a decisive global influence ever since - above all, conceptions of collective security, concerted conflict resolution and a rule-based international system of states, yet also core ideas of self-determination, democratic government and liberal economic order"--, Provided by publisher
