Book Overview

Militarism and Statecraft is a book written by Munroe Smith and published in 1918. The book explores the relationship between militarism and statecraft, and how militarism has affected the development of modern states. Smith argues that militarism has been a driving force behind the growth of modern states, and that it has played a crucial role in shaping the political and economic systems of these states.The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of militarism and statecraft. Part one examines the historical origins of militarism and its impact on the development of modern states. Part two looks at the role of military power in international relations, and how it has shaped the balance of power between nations. Part three considers the impact of militarism on domestic politics, including the rise of military dictatorships and the role of the military in maintaining social order. Finally, part four looks at the future of militarism and its impact on the world order.Throughout the book, Smith draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples to illustrate his arguments. He also engages with the work of other scholars and thinkers, including Machiavelli, Clausewitz, and Hobbes. Militarism and Statecraft is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the relationship between military power and statecraft.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
