Project Gutenberg 2003-11-01 Public domain in the USA. 147 Dickinson, G. Lowes (Goldsworthy Lowes) 1862 1932 Dickinson, Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson, Lowes The European Anarchy Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Tony Towers and PG Distributed Proofreaders "The European Anarchy" by G. Lowes Dickinson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the complex political relationships of European states from the 15th century onward, particularly focusing on issues surrounding international anarchy and the implications of Machiavellian principles in statecraft. It likely discusses themes such as the balance of power and the rivalries between nations, especially leading up to World War I. The beginning of "The European Anarchy" introduces the reader to a pivotal moment in European history, marking the end of a world-order ideal and the acceptance of an anarchic system of sovereign states that began in the late 15th century. Dickinson emphasizes the role of mutual suspicion and fear in international relations, suggesting that without common law or authority, conflicts are inevitable. He critiques the persistence of these tensions in historical policies, particularly through the lens of major powers like Great Britain, Germany, and France, setting the stage for conflicts driven by the ambitions of nations rather than cooperative diplomacy.
