Abstract

'Title: "Governing the World: The History of an Idea". "We have passed, Mark Mazower writes, 'from an era that had faith in the idea of international institutions to one that has lost it.' Mazower, a prolific professor of history at Columbia, has written a challenging and thought-provoking history of that arc of disillusion.… Mazower's history gives welcome emphasis to these economic dimensions of the search for a sustainable international order, but he does not distinguish clearly enough between governance and government, between fantasies of technocratic rule beyond the sovereign state and practical schemes by accountable sovereigns to solve the problems they have in common."
