The first section surveys historical relations between the two nations and culminates with the Second World War.

Basic Texts in International Relations
This text combines passages from major writers on international relations over the ages, together with a brief commentary on each. The collection is divided into three main sections - the individual, the state and the society of states - the three main alternative ways of conceiving the subject.
War in International Society
Evan Luard addresses a number of fundamental questions relating to the role and characteristics of war, discerning patterns that have operated with remarkable consistency throughout modern history. What have been the issues that have led to wars between states? How have these varied in different periods of history and among different types of states? What were the underlying motives that propelled states into war? How have different states at different times arrived at their decisions to make war? How have they assessed the profitability of wars, the likely success and consequences of armed action? What are the procedures that have been used in modern times for resolving conflicts and ending wars? How have the beliefs about war changed from one era to the next? In the process of exploring these questions, Luard offers a wealth of fascinating examples from different historical periods. He concludes by examining the international political culture of today's world--including the nuclear option--in order to reflect on the prospectsfor evolving toward a more war-free internaional society.

The Globalization of Politics
The book examines the kind of action that needs to be taken by world bodies in fields such as the trafficing of drugs, international terrorism, world hunger and other pressing problems, and the type of political activity through which individuals can seek to influence them.
Socialism without the State
The revolutions that have recently occurred in Eastern Europe have been seen by some as heralding the death of socialism. Evan Luard argues, in this new edition of his book, that those revolutions demonstrated the failure not of socialism, which were never practised in those states, but of state socialism, a perversion of the doctrine which, for nearly a century, has distorted its true meaning in East and West Europe alike.
International Society
The entire population of the globe is caught up in a single organism, hugely complex but closely interrelated. In this book, Evan Luard analyzes that wider society, and presents a fresh and sometimes startling characterization of the gravitational force of the new world community that is willy-nilly changing the consciousness and actions of individuals and peoples.
