Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 2009.

In this dissertation, I analyze plans for international organization, written during the Great War in Britain and the United States, which culminated in the Covenant of the League of Nations. The main focus is on the manner in which those who elaborated plans envisioned the possibility of fostering peace after the war.

520 $a In this dissertation, I analyze plans for international organization, written during the Great War in Britain and the United States, which culminated in the Covenant of the League of Nations. The main focus is on the manner in which those who elaborated plans envisioned the possibility of fostering peace after the war.
520 $a Chapter one examines plans by the Bryce Group, the Union of Democratic Control, and the League to Enforce Peace. The Bryce Group focused on the possibility of revising the dispute-settlement system at The Hague. The UDC advocated the substitution of an international framework for balance of power politics and democratic control of foreign policy. The LEP urged the backing of dispute-settlement by force, and more generally saw the need for the use of force in the international context, in the absence of international government.
520 $a Chapter two examines two authors---Leonard Woolf and G. Lowes Dickinson---who advocated a limited form of international legislation, as well as following the Bryce Group in their focus on arbitration. Woolf and Dickinson are treated here in contrast; where Woolf saw the rise of international government dating back well into the nineteenth century, Dickinson, famously, saw international anarchy.
520 $a Chapter three analyzes two authors---J. A. Hobson and H.N. Brailsford---who advocated international federalism to keep the world safe, but especially to guarantee the possibility of free trade. Chapter four examines politicians and other notable figures in Britain and America, examining the views of James Bryce, Jan Smuts, Woodrow Wilson, the Phillimore Committee (commissioned by Lloyd George to examine the League question), and the rise of the League of Nations Union out of the merger of two earlier schemes. Notable amongst these are Bryce's support for a federal League of Nations, and the support of Smuts of a League modeled on the British Empire. In conclusion, I examine the covenant of the League of Nations in light of the plans offered during the Great War, with particular attention to themes of sovereignty and imperialism as they relate to peace.
