About This Book

An anthropological analysis compares the Westphalian peace settlement with contemporary League of Nations proposals, arguing that peace requires educating peoples and leaders, learning from historical experience to remove causes of war, prudent indemnities, and inclusive diplomacy. It examines principles for durable treaties—amnesty, restitution, prevention of grievances, cautious reparations, and the role of conferences in clarifying interests—while warning against overreach by uninterested powers and ill-informed delegates. The essay proposes treating international peace as an educational and psychological problem and urges broad public engagement to make future political wars unlikely.
