Interweaving historical investigation with legal analysis, Scott Keefer traces the British role in the development of naval arms control, outlining the pragmatic Foreign Office approaches towards international law. By emphasizing what was possible within the existing legal system rather than attempting to create radically powerful international institutions, statesmen crafted treaties to exploit the unique pace of naval construction. Utilizing previously-overlooked archival resources, this book investigates how the great powers exploited treaties as elements of national security strategies. The result is a fuller analysis of the Hague Peace Conferences, Anglo-German discussions, and lesser known regional agreements from the American Great Lakes to South America, and a richer exploration of pre-1914 diplomacy, providing insights into how a past generation perceived questions of war and defence. . 000772371 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000772371 650_0 $$aHistory. 000772371 650_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000772371 650_0 $$aEurope$$xHistory--1492-. 000772371 650_0 $$aMilitary history. 000772371 650_0 $$aLaw$$xHistory. 000772371 650_0 $$aPeace. 000772371 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKeefer, Scott Andrew.$$tLaw of Nations and Britain's Quest for Naval Security : International Law and Arms Control, 1898-1914.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing, ©2016$$z9783319396446 000772371 852__ $$bebk 000772371 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-39645-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000772371 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:772371$$pGLOBAL_SET 000772371 980__ $$aEBOOK 000772371 980__ $$aBIB 000772371 982__ $$aEbook 000772371 983__ $$aOnline 000772371 994__ $$a92$$bISE
