Rebuilding the Postwar Order: Peace, Security and the UN-System (New Approaches to International History) - Softcover
Book 24 of 30: New Approaches to International History
Synopsis
In the aftermath of the Second World War, bureaucrats, politicians, and diplomats across the Grand Alliance set out to reconstruct a peaceful global order, certain that planning was the key to success. Between 1941 and 1951, a sprawling, ambitious, multi-layered, and not always coherent postwar blueprint was conceived and implemented.
In Rebuilding the Postwar Order, Francine McKenzie sets this plan in an international context, arguing the instrumental importance of international organizations in ensuring the security of nations and people and creating conditions of global prosperity.The process of planning for peace is often submerged in histories of the Second World War, while historical analysis of the Cold War has cast doubt on the very idea of a postwar period. By demonstrating how the institutions and structures laid out during and after the war remain largely in place, altered but still largely committed to their original goals, McKenzie restores this postwar period and shows its enduring relevance.This study examines the key architects of the postwar world, the negotiations that resulted in treaties, agreements,declarations and organizations, and draws out the ideas, experiences, and interests that shaped the postwar design. Finally, it tackles core issues that explain the workings of postwar international relations including leadership,the authority of nation-states, and the relationship between power and rules in the international community.

Paperback. Condition: New. Throughout the Second World War, a wide range of people, including political leaders and government officials, experts and armchair internationalists, civil society groups and private citizens talked about and formulated plans to ensure national security and to promote individual well-being in the postwar world. Rebuilding the Postwar Order explains how civil society and governments of the wartime allies conceived of peace and traces the international negotiations and conferences that later resulted in the United Nations system. It adopts a multilateral approach, connects wartime ideas to earlier peacemaking efforts, and reveals support for, as well as resistance and alternatives to, the emerging postwar order. In chapters on the United Nations, UNRRA, the IMF, World Bank and GATT, the FAO and WHO, UNESCO, and human rights, McKenzie explores the tensions between national sovereignty and international responsibility, national security and individual well-being, principles and compromises, morality and power, privilege and justice, all of which influenced the UN system.
