World War I constituted a milestone in the development of the United States as a world power. As the European powers exhausted themselves during the conflict, the U.S. government deployed its growing economic leverage, its military might, and its diplomacy to shape the outcome of the war and to influence the future of international relations. In The Great War and American Foreign Policy, 1914-1924, Robert E. Hannigan challenges the conventional belief that the United States entered World War I only because its hand was forced, and he disputes the claim that Washington was subsequently driven by a desire to make the world "safe for democracy." Democratic President Woodrow Wilson's rhetoric emphasized peace, self-determination, and international cooperation. But his foreign policy, Hannigan claims, is better understood if analyzed against the backdrop of American policy?not only toward Europe, but also toward East Asia and the rest of the western hemisphere?as it had been developing since the turn of the twentieth century. On the broadest level, Wilson sought to shore up and stabilize an international order promoted and presided over by London since the early 1800s, this in the conviction that under such conditions the United States would inevitably ascend to a global position comparable to, if not eclipsing, that of Great Britain. Hannigan argues, moreover, that these fundamental objectives continued to guide Wilson's Republican successors in their efforts to stabilize the postwar world. The book reexamines the years when the United States was ostensibly neutral (1914-17), the subsequent period of American military involvement (1917-18), the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, the ensuing battle for ratification of the Treaty of Versailles (in 1919-20), and the activities of Wilson's successors?culminating with the Dawes Plan of 1924.

La 4ème de couverture indique : "L'ambition de renforcer la puissance géopolitique de l'Union européenne face à des menaces globales la conduit à développer la portée extraterritoriale de ses normes. L'extraterritorialité du droit de l'Union européenne consiste à faire produire des effets, directs ou indirects, contraignants ou incitatifs, au droit de l'Union européenne dans des États non-membres de l'Union européenne. De tels effets sont redoutés par de nombreux gouvernants et opérateurs économiques qui n'en connaissent pas la portée exacte et qui craignent de voir se manifester une forme d'hégémonie de l'Union européenne. Explorée par la doctrine et révélée progressivement par la jurisprudence, l'extraterritorialité revêt de multiples significations que plusieurs auteurs s'efforcent d'expliciter. Des domaines dits de prédilection, tels que le droit européen e la concurrence, le droit d'auteur et du numérique font l'objet d'études systématiques. Pour produire des effets extraterritoriaux avec efficacité, le droit de l'Union européenne peut suivre plusieurs canaux. Se pose alors la question du caractère approprié des sources du droit applicables. Sont successivement envisagés les actes unilatéraux de droit dérivé, la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européennes et les accords internationaux bilatéraux."

"With this pioneering approach to the study of international history, T. G. Otte reconstructs the underlying principles, elite perceptions and 'unspoken assumptions' that shaped British foreign policy between the death of Palmerston and the outbreak of the First World War. Grounded in a wide range of public and private archival sources, and drawing on sociological insights, The Foreign Office Mind presents a comprehensive analysis of the foreign service as a 'knowledge-based-organisation', rooted in the social and educational background of the diplomatic elite and the broader political, social and cultural fabric of Victorian and Edwardian Britain. The book charts how the collective mindset of successive generations of professional diplomats evolved, and reacted to and shaped changes in international relations during the second half of the nineteenth century, including the balance of power and arms races, the origins of appeasement and the origins of the First World War"--

This volume focuses on interpreting the changing domestic and regional dynamics in the Arab world and Iran. Its chapters discuss an array of countries, events, actors, and issues - from an examination of the Arab Spring and the Tunisian democratic transition, to an exploration of the role of Saudi-Iranian geostrategic rivalry, to the impact of ethnic and sectarian politics in Syria, Iraq, and across the region. Chapters from expert contributors are organized into three parts. The first section of the volume covers the aspects and dynamics of change in the Arab world. The second examines the role of Islam, Islamism, Islamic governance, and sectarian and ethnic politics in the region. The third section focuses on Iranian domestic and regional politics. Yet the theme of transition is constant throughout as this multidisciplinary book draws connections across countries and events to not only inform about the prevailing regional situation, but also to invite readers to draw their own conclusions as to the future of the Middle East. Collectively the volume provides a fresh interpretation of the changing dynamics of the Arab world and Iran, unpacking the complexities of the disputes, conflicts, rivalries, failed goals, and processes of change and development that have made the Muslim Middle East so turbulent, directionless, and perpetually contested by both regional and international actors.
