It takes special note of the implications of state failure to control economic growth and market exigencies for international relations. The book is divided into three sections. The first analyzes Cobden, Mitrany, and Ohmae's empirical claims, the second looks at their normative judgements and the third looks at their predictive assertions. It concludes that the three primarily propose normative arguments for less state involvement in economic and international relations but conceal them in empirical and predictive assertions. The liberal idea of the decline of the state is more of an ideological statement in response to political, social, and economic trends than an objective observation of an empirically verifiable fact. 410 0$aThe Palgrave Macmillan History of International Thought 606 $aState, The 606 $aInternationalism 606 $aWorld politics 615 0$aState, The. 615 0$aInternationalism. 615 0$aWorld politics. 676 $a320.1 700 $aHammarlund$b Per A$01508496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784126703321 996 $aLiberal internationalism and the decline of the state$93739889 997 $aUNINA
