The Emergence of Globalism: Visions of World Order in Britain and the United States, 1939-1950

This book is a tour de force on the theories of political philosophers from Great Britain, the US, and Western Europe dealing with the creation of a stable world order in the era emerging just before World War II to the middle of the Cold War. Rosenboim, a political research fellow (Cambridge), presents in a most impressive manner a wide range of American and European intellectual elites' approach to the study and ultimate creation of a structured world order. * Choice * A pleasure to read. This excellent book stands out as a major contribution to our growing understanding of the history of twentieth-century international thought. Rosenboim forces us to rethink that history, and by implication how we interpret international relations today. -Lucian M. Ashworth, author of A History of International Thought The best study ever written on Anglo-American global thought in the 1940s. Rosenboim's insightful, cutting-edge book will enjoy a lasting impact. -Samuel Moyn, author of The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History Gathering, evaluating, and in some cases rehabilitating a host of philosophers, geographers, economists, planners, jurists, and theists, Rosenboim offers a master class on global thinking at the end of what Albert Camus called 'more than twenty years of an insane history:' the First World War, the Great Depression, Hitler's rise, Stalin's purges, the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War, the Holocaust, the Iron Curtain and, finally, 'a world threatened by nuclear destruction.' ---Jonathan Hunt, H-Diplo Roundtable Review Stimulating. ---Udi Greenberg, Lawfare Blog, A major work of intellectual history. ---Karen Shook, Times Higher Education One of CHOICE's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2017 Shortlisted for the 2018 Gladstone Prize, Royal Historical Society Winner of the 2019 Francisco Guiccardini Prize for Best Book in Historical International Relations, International Studies Association
