{"product_id":"when-the-league-collapsed-sofia-nowak-9789390349548","title":"When the League Collapsed: The Failure of Collective Security","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the space where institutions vowed \"all for one,\" aggressors learned to move fast while committees talked. This book reveals how a system built on noble collective security promises collapsed under the weight of unanimity rules, imperial hierarchies, and economic fear. Through gripping case studies-from the Manchuria incident to the Abyssinia crisis and the Rhineland-it shows why rules without capability and will cannot keep the peace. If you care about international relations history and today's fragile order, this is the sharp, usable analysis you need. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Understand why sanctions failed: what makes sanctions effectiveness real rather than performative \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- See how credibility is built and broken, using a practical model of deterrence and credibility \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Learn the design flaws that turned legal commitments into paper shields-and how to fix them in modern institutions \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Trace the path from interwar missteps to the causes of World War II without clichés or hindsight bias \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for policy readers, historians, journalists, and engaged citizens, it balances rigour with clarity. You'll come away with a mental toolkit for judging any proposed \"global solution\" who pays, who decides, and what happens when costs bite. From interwar diplomacy to present‐day crises, it offers field-tested principles for the design of global institutions that can act when it matters. If you want fewer surprises on tomorrow's map, start with the lessons Geneva couldn't learn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sofia Nowak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9390349540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789390349548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vij Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Sofia Nowak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48874498261247,"sku":"9789390349548","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-the-league-collapsed-sofia-nowak-9789390349548","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
