Border Crossings: Studies in International History

by Christopher G. Thorne

This book looks at how the study of international history is responding to the need to approach the discipline through a combination of perspectives - historical, political, philosophical, economic and sociological. Representing over two decades of study, the essays in "Border Crossings" look specifically at the application of such an approach to the conduct and development of international relations among the Western democracies during the inter-war years and World War II and the responses of governments, societies and individuals to the challenges of that period. Such issues as the relationship between the study of international relations and that of sociology, the nature of Anglo-American relations in the first half of the 20th century, and the long-term consequences of American society's responses to World War II, are covered
