The essays 'seek to place contemporary debates about the international order in historical perspective'. After 1918 and again after 1945 statesmen and diplomats tried to find consensus to maintain a post-war order; the same happened after the collapse of Communism. In all three cases the search was in vain. This is a theme that runs through this collection which looks at the Versailles settlement and the 1945 peace treaties, U.S. strategy between 1940 and 1950, the role of Britain and France between 1945 and 1956, the 'German Question' between 1945 and 1963, the new economic relations between Britain and America between 1941 and 1947, third world nationalism, the U.S. in the post-Cold War era, Europe in th e same period, the international financial system and global issues and the 'new security agenda'.
