Ways to Peace

By Esther Everett Lape and Edward W BOK

"Ways to Peace" stands as a significant historical testament to the global pursuit of stability and cooperation in the aftermath of the First World War. Compiled by Esther Everett Lape with a reflective introduction by Edward W. Bok, this volume presents twenty of the most representative and thought-provoking plans selected from the thousands submitted for the American Peace Award. This prestigious competition sought to discover a practical and sustainable method by which the United States might cooperate with other nations to prevent future global conflicts.

The work offers a diverse range of perspectives on international law, diplomacy, and collective security. It captures the intellectual landscape of the early 1920s, a period marked by both the trauma of the Great War and a profound optimism for institutionalizing peace. By detailing specific structural and political strategies for international harmony, the contributors explore themes of disarmament, judicial arbitration, and economic cooperation. "Ways to Peace" remains an essential resource for students of international relations, history, and political science, providing a unique window into the era's debates over America's role on the world stage and the universal quest for a world without war.
