Overview

""Law or War"" is a compelling examination of the global choice between violent conflict and international legal structures. Writing in the wake of the Great War, Lucia True Ames Mead presents a detailed argument for the establishment of a world order based on justice, arbitration, and cooperation. The work explores the fundamental causes of war and the practical steps necessary to replace the law of force with the force of law, advocating for the strength of international institutions like the World Court. Mead addresses the role of education, public opinion, and disarmament in fostering a sustainable and collective peace. This significant contribution to pacifist literature highlights the urgent need for diplomacy and the collective responsibility of nations to prevent future global catastrophes. ""Law or War"" provides deep insight into the intellectual foundations of the 20th-century peace movement, offering a vision for a rules-based international community that remains relevant to modern discussions of international relations and conflict resolution.
