{"product_id":"political-unification-revisited","title":"Political Unification Revisited","description":"Can independent nations unify politically? Amitai Etzioni raised this searching question in his seminal 1965 book, \u003ci\u003ePolitical Unification: A Comparative Study of Leaders and Forces\u003c\/i\u003e. In this revised edition-now with an extensive new introduction-Etzioni convincingly argues that the experiment of collective self-determination is the only viable replacement for a perilously overloaded international system. This fascinating work debates the limitations of informal networks of governance, transnational agencies and cross-nation bonding-including the grand experiment of the European Union-to argue that only a truly transcendent supranational community can effectively succeed the nation-state. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe doubts whether the traditional system of international relations can withstand the threat of transnational forces. Old-fashioned diplomacy can neither prevent weapons of mass destruction and hate material moving easily across national borders, nor deal with mass cross-border immigration in the wake of civil war and the rise of political and ethnic separatism. \u003ci\u003ePolitical Unification Revisited\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for political scientists and scholars of international law and international relations seeking to navigate the path from national sovereignty to world government in the 21st century..","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52667040825711,"sku":"9780739102732","price":500.01,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0739102737.jpg?v=1770923725","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/political-unification-revisited","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
