Fundamental Peace Ideas including The Westphalian Peace Treaty (1648) and The League Of Nations (1919): in connection with International Psychology and Revolutions

Description

Explore the historical and psychological roots of global conflict in Arthur MacDonald's comprehensive study of international relations. The text examines pivotal moments in diplomacy — from the 1648 Westphalian Peace Treaty to the 1919 formation of the League of Nations — and connects these events to broader psychological theories of revolution and collective behavior.\n\nBy situating political history within the framework of international psychology, MacDonald offers a unique lens on how human emotion and group dynamics shape statecraft. This classic work provides the intellectual foundation for understanding why peace is so elusive and how international institutions attempt to manage human conflict. Essential reading for students of history, psychology, and international relations.
