Considering the Possibility of Abolishing War

Robert Bewick • Jun 8 2010 • Essays

The groundbreaking theory of Security Communities proffered by Karl Deutsch and his associates in 1957 which sought to “contribute to the study of possible ways in which men some day might abolish war” was largely shunned during the decades immediately succeeding its publishing.
