imprudent lack of distinction between principles appropriate as a foundation for law in the domestic realm and those appropriate to statecraft in the international realm. Carr feared an outbreak of war: "It may be that the question whether war breaks out between Russia and America affects us far more than the question whether we can increase the productivity of labour or improve the organization of industry or the distribution of consumer goods. conducted with enormously destructive weapons such as submarines, poison gas, and airplanes that for the first time directly targeted civilians. It follows that when we take up a work of history, our first concerns should be not with the facts which it contains but with the historians who wrote it…, The second point is …one of historian’s need of imaginative understanding for the minds of the people with whom he is dealing…. opxii., in note 19. “The Utopian Realism of E.H.

The peace congresses did not receive much, if any, official notice, and their proceedings and plans were ridiculed by those segments of (he press who did pay attention." These new currents would demonstrate that agreement on norms of arbitration and the observance of legally-sanctioned rules of stale conduct did not automatically go hand-in-hand with free trade notions of harmony. Where social forces in particular are concerned, although only CarT treated them with any degree of specificity (as opposed to Niebuhr's concern with the evil present on the level of human nature or Morgenthau's assertions of the impossibility of 'moral' action by the state), much of the work of the classical realists pointed to an indictment of 'Utopian' or 'idealist' trends in international politics as inevitably dangerous and nefarious. 95-101. allowed to continue unfettered." ation of the community of nations to prevent war, and ingenious authors have gone back to Sully, or sometimes to Plato, for anticipations of the League of Nations. In Britain, Establishment activists who felt that the traditional peace societies were 'too closely identified with Nonconformist pressure groups' joined the American-led International Law Association to further projects for international arbitration among elite classes of lawyers and public officials.66 Nevertheless, many progressive reformers made new connections between peace and economic and social needs, both at home and abroad, connections which engendered a distinct unease with liberal notions of harmony. 78. Carr equated liberalism with utopianism, and refused to see how the latter might include categories that could be differentiated from the former. At the turn of the century, the Darwinian struggle among the Powers for colonies and influence left a great number of these new peace activists uneasy with, and many openly critical of, founding international harmony on rights to ownership and control of resources, people and territory. 41. pp. Some Chartisis did become advócales of the peace cause, including Thomas Cooper and Henry Vincem. No. 263-76. By the interwar period, agreement on the use of liberal economic institutions to fosier peace had disintegrated, but accord on what might be called the "republican compromise', i.e., institutionalising norms of universalism, both in terms of rights to participation and in terms of obligations, was quite strong. 73. See Alexander Wendl, 'The Agent-Structure Problem in International Relations Theory", International Organization (Vol. During the latter pan of the century, movements continued to push arbitration, now promoted through the mechanism of a World Court characterised by universal membership. 37. Cooper argues that the end of the Napoleonic wars spawned three unrelaied groups seeking ways of controlling future wars in Europe: 'the international political and diplomatic elites, individual writers and intellectuals...and, finally, citizen activists'. By the end of World War 1, peace groups' focus had coalesced around plans to internationalise participatory institutions (and their concomitant rights) in the belief that "peace' required universal participation and equality of status—norms thai, it was believed, would allow for peaceful change rather than legitimate an unjust status quo.

Since its publication, The Twenty Years' Crisis has been an essential book in the study of international relations.

For Britons, the Crimean War. After World War I, faith in state security practices and traditional forms of diplomacy was at a low never before seen, resulting in a widespread willingness to criticise government policies and put forth detailed alternatives that were based on principles of international law and organisation. He also suggested that Britain should turn over all of her colonies to an international commission after the war. Methods, and Dilemmas in World Polities', in Baylis and Rengger (eds. The belief in a hard core of historical facts existing objectively and independently of the interpretation of the historian is a preposterous fallacy. 24. Peace groups coexisted uneasily with nationalist claims, although a number of internationalists in both countries resolved the dilemma by justifying their own counuy's imperialism in the name of a 'civilising mission' of spreading liberalism and democracy to 'backward' peoples.61 Consequently, renewed imperialist policies during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century split Progressives, and caused components of the Left in both countries to cultivate an increasingly anti-war stance. No. legal norms and their instituiionalisation, and those who would stress founding peace on rights to private property and free trade.

If the sequence of cause and effect is sufficiently rigid to permit of the 'scientific prediction' of events, if our thought is irrevocably conditioned by our status and our interests, then both action and thought become devoid of purpose. Norman Rose, the author of Vansittart: Study of a Diplomat (1978) has argued: "But how would he combat the German menace? See, for example, Claus Offe, 'New Social Movements: © Mil Itanium: Joamal of lntemalional Siudies, 1994. Now, State control has come in its most naked and undisguised form precisely where the individualist tradition was the weakest, in Germany and Russia. In this article, I take issue with both the substance and the implications of Carr's argument. Nevertheless, despite their critical and historical stance vis-a-vis international politics, classical realists should not be exempt from criticism on a number of fronts, including their dichotomisation of international politics into overly simplistic categories such as realism/idealism (or, in the case of Carr, utopianism)", or their possible confusion and misinterpretation of historical categories. Indeed the term is often employed in a rhetorical way, Although the call for understanding the full body of Carr's work by contemporary theorists has merit, it is difficult, in my view, to interpret Carr's conclusions in his best known and most often used work as other than a defense of the necessity, sony as it may be, of realpolilik. However, much of this literature primarily addresses itself to the role of states as agents, thereby neglecting the part played in international politics by domestic and transnational actors. peace group agreement was limited to internationalising norms and methods of political conflict resolution. op.cii,. 'The trouble is not that Guatemala's rights and privileges are only proportionately, not absolutely, equal to those of the United Slates, but that such rights and privileges as Guatemala has are enjoyed only by (he good-will of the United Slates. As Keynes pointed out: "The Treaty includes no provision for the economic rehabilitation of Europe - nothing to make the defeated Central Powers into good neighbours, nothing to stabilise the new States of Europe, nothing to reclaim Russia; nor does it promote in any way a compact of economic solidarity amongst the Allies themselves; no arrangement was reached at Paris for restoring the disordered finances of France and Italy, or to adjust the systems of the Old World and the New.". National and international security concerns also affected the movements in both countries, influencing their growth, decline, ability and desire to promote specific kinds of normative standards and institutional mechanisms for the maintenance of peace. This was completed by October, 1919. 59. 30-31, and Pacifism in Europe, op.cil., in note 19, pp. 13-14. 1, 1992), p. 96. argues that, '(p]erhaps ironically, Can's political realism is a useful point of departure' in addressing 'the question of how states and other social actors-could create new political communities and identities'. See, for example, Richard W. Mansbach, The Global Puzile: Issues and Actors in World Politics (Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin. Yet the fact that both Britain and the United Stales were also caught up in a new competition that affected security relations—the imperialist rivalries of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, attested to by Britain's participation in the scramble for Africa and the Boer War, and the Spanish-American War'waged by the United States—again split peace activists. 38. Churchill sent a message to Major-General William Ironside: "Fullest use is now to be made of gas shell with your forces, or supplied by us to White Russian forces." Yet, given his approach, it is not surprising that he failed to undersiand the importance or persistence of peace movement agency or the great historical move toward institutionalising international legal norms that restrain states' rights to engage in war and promote universalism and equality of status. 6. During the Second World War Carr's politics moved to the left. Peace movements emphasised these norms in a number of ways. E. H. Carr and political community 323 argued.6 Carr was obviously of the view that some things had to change, not least the basic unit of world politics, the nation-state, which could no longer be regarded as the most effective means of promoting welfare and security.7 In The Twenty Years' See, for example, A.C.F. ", Moreover, a left-wing critique of war was also slowly developing during the Progressive era. 25-26; DeBenedetti, Peace Reform, op.cil., in note 29. pp. Carr published a biography of Fyodor Dostoevsky in 1931. This false belief in 'harmony', for Carr, takes two forms: faith in the liberal economic doctrine of laissez-faire, and the belief that global peace can be attained through law and the force of reason. civic rights and the creation of an international judiciary and 'legislature' for. 21, No. While it is true that human being has the ultimate goal of self-preservation, that does not necessarily preclude the possibility of co-operation in … Peace movements made an impact during the period because many groups could legitimately claim to represent thousands (and in the case of the British League of Nations Union or the US National Council for the Prevention of War, tens or even hundreds of thousands) of adherents which served to increase their chances of being heard in the Press, Parliament, Congress, and Cabinets in both countries," Their activity constitutes what Carr labelled the 'popularisation of international politics' in the interwar period. 1989); Charles Chatfield. After 1857, with nationalism and imperialism on the rise, both Cobden and the Quaker liberal John Bright, the leaders of the then more or less fused free trade and peace movements, lost their seats in Parliament.". During this period and until the middle of the century, peace activists' methods in both countries did not include direct political pressure on governments.39 They did not attempt to promote large projects for creating participatory institutions for resolving conflict on the international level, nor did they champion free trade as pari and parcel of a peace program. Howe, in 'The Utopian Realism of E.H. Cair', Review of International Studies (Vol. Edward Hallett " Ted " Carr CBE FBA (28 June 1892 – 3 November 1982) was an English historian, diplomat, journalist and international relations theorist, and an opponent of empiricism within historiography. International Journal (Vol. Peace movements believed that these norms, when institutionalised through a league of nations, would also replace the management of conflict by either unstable alliances or Great Power machinations. 104-105. The League had four powers it could use to bend the wills of countries: its covenant which bound all members to keep peace, its power of condemnation, its arbitration and its sanctions. Ashley, however, also criticises classical realism for closing off important questions ('it honors the silences of the tradition it interprets') and for failing as a 'theory of world politics' (p. 274). Movement agents are motivated by 'utopianism', which Car opposes to the 'realism' he believes necessary to act effectively in international politics. Carr’s book occupies a special place in the field of IR for two reasons. The Abolition of War: The 'Peace Movement' in Britain, ¡914-1919 (Cardiff: The University of Wales Press, 1976). It then assesses the role of peace movements in articulating and promoting international legal norms during five periods in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, beginning with movement foundations in the post-Napoleonic era and ending with the institutionalisation of some (but not all) movement programmes in the form of the League of Nations. 24 (Dec 1998), pp. If liberalism is founded on 'a shared commitment to four essential institutions',B two economic and two political, Cart's error in conflating the liberal economic doctrine of harmony with moves toward international problemsolving mechanisms becomes clearer.

His father was a supporter of the Conservative Party until moving to the Liberal Party in 1903 over the Free Trade issue. Edward Hallett Carr died of cancer on 5th November, 1982. 85. More recently, Andrew Linklater and Paul Howe have brought new perspectives to our understanding of the contributions of Carr and classical realism. Peace groups gradually developed a program founded on agreement to internationalise two of the four liberal institutions: 1) juridical equality of members, and 2) representative legislatures 'deriving their authority from the consent of the electorate' (in the international realm, the gradual move toward global international organisation)." ), Frontiers in Social Movement Theory (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1993). In a sense, Marx is the protagonist and forerunner of the whole twentieth century revolution of thought. Carr bitterly attacked the government policy following the Russian Revolution: "It is not longer possible for any sane man to regard the campaigns of Kolchak, Yudenich, Denikin and Wrangel otherwise than as tragic blunders of colossal dimensions. Thus, in addition to working for recognition of the rights of Germany and the Soviet Union to full membership in the League and the principle of equality of status in armaments, interwar peace movements promoted the recognition of parity in the naval arms race between the US and Britain, and obligatory arbitration of conflict on a basis of juridical equality. Movements broadened in their sociological composition throughout the nineteenth century, gradually expanding from their base in Protestant non-. Norms promoted by these movements include constraints on states' right to wage war and the requirement that states attempt to resolve conflict peacefully before using force, which over time have been embodied in treaties and agreements such as the Hague Conventions, the Covenant of the League of Nations, the 1928 Pact of Paris and the UN Charter. Continental Europe had no similar societies until 1830, when Jean-Jacques de Sellon founded the Societi de la Paix in Geneva. 3, Summer 1989), pp. Not man, but mass-man, not the individual, but the class, not the political man, would be the unit of the coming dispensation. Ibid., p. 23. Most nefarious, for him, is the attempt to institutionalise such notions in the form of global international organisation. However, despite the fact that movements tended not to target political institutions, they did begin discussing and debating methods of reversing and transcending the 'custom of war',40 Both pacifists and other anti-war society members agreed even at this stage on the need to renounce wars of 'aggression'; their joint call of opposition to the 'customary' character of war represented a nascent aspiration and the beginnings of action to influence international legal norms. The term social movements, as used in this article, denotes loose associations of actors who work for their goals (out of necessity or choice) at least in part outside of 'traditional' political channels, and within the arena of 'civil society'. 45. Yet, ultimately, ethical considerations must give way to wise policy based on power considerations rather than principle: What confronts us in international politics today is, therefore, nothing less than the complete bankruptcy of the conception of morality which has dominated political and economic thought for a century and a half. ", Carr's views on Hitler brought him into conflict with his superior at the Foreign Office, the Permanent Undersecretary Sir Robert Vansittart, who wrote on 6th May 1933: "The present regime in Germany will, on past and present form, loose off another European war just so soon as it feels strong enough … we are considering very crude people, who have very few ideas in their noddles but brute force and militarism." The third and fourth 'liberal institutions'—an economy resting on a recognition of the rights of private property and agreement that economic decisions be regulated by the forces of supply and demand—were matters of some contention for the various groups working for 'peace'. He is generally regarded as a hard-nosed, right-wing political realist, but Charles Jones' study reveals him as a … 29. In assessing movements' influence on the promotion and legitimisation of international legal norms—from arbitration to free trade liberalism to disarmament and universal participation and equality in a congress of nations—Carr begins with the interwar period and, criticising the failure of legal and moral standards and their institutionalisalion in League mechanisms to keep peace, works backward lo assert that efforts to ensure peace through institutionalising principles of conduct are misleading, often dangerous, and inevitably are conducive lo furthering the interests of the powerful. When we see the ways in which movements have reacted lo and interacted with the structures and events of their times—the Napoleonic wars, protectionism, imperialist competition, the social dislocations brought about by both laissez-faire policies and neo-mereantilism, World War I. arms races—their goals and actions become understandable, sometimes logical, and even perhaps 'realistic'. 17. Why has E.?H. 22. 303-305. It is a very right and proper thing to employ poison gas against them." These first peace societies grew out of what was, before 1815, scattered disaffection in Britain with war policies toward revolutionary and then Napoleonic France, and disapproval in the United States of persistent fearmongering against Britain. Moreover, Carr, in The Moral Foundations for World Order, articulated a laudable notion of international morality that would eliminate 'discrimination of individuals on grounds of race, colour, or national allegiance' (p. 22) and would be founded upon 'satisfying those primitive human needs of food and clothing and shelter' (through 'an international coordination, if not an international pooling, of resources' rather than by 'an indiscriminate opening of international markets', pp. Although the movements in both countries had begun to discuss and debate nascent projects of international law and organisation, their ideas were vaguely formed. If you can detect none, either you are tone deaf or your historian is a dull dog. No. The facts speak only when historians calls on them: it is he who decides to which facts to give the floor, and in what order or context. Pacifist opposition to war took the form of ethical opposition to all killing, while many who opposed war on a more selective basis, later to be called 'pacificists' and some to become 'internationalists', promoted a Whiggish-functionalist belief in international progress and reform.". See also Brock, Pacifism in Europe, op.cit., in note 19, p. 396; Asa Briggs, The Making of Modern England, 1783-1867 (New York, NY: Harper & Row, 1965), p. 321; and E.P. The nineteenth century saw the end of the period of humanism which began with the Renaissance-the period which took as its ideal the highest development of the faculties and liberties of the individual...Marx understood that, in the new order, the individual would play a minor part. Disarmament supplanted even the progressive-era push for codification of international law in the eyes of many activists, because mere codification of existing practices in international law—particularly the foundational respect for states' sovereign. In another editorial he argued: "This is not altogether a national war, it is to a certain extent a social war, a revolutionary war; as a political revolution it is not simply confined to one country but is more or less world-wide". They were monuments of folly in conception and of incompetence in execution; they cost, directly and indirectly, hundreds of thousands of lives; and except in so far as they may have increased the bitterness of the Soviet rulers against the "White" Russians and the Allies who half-heartedly supported them, they did not deflect the course of history by a single hair's breadth.". At the first International Peace Congress, held in London in 1843, delegates primarily from England and the United States agreed on resolutions advocating arbitration clauses as a means of settling international disputes and a 'high court of nations' to keep the peace in Europe."
