Dustjacket has a 1 inch tear at the bottom right of the rear panel, there is no other damage to describe for the book, which is clean and without any writing. The nationstate has proved to be the master institution of modern world. Yet it is no longer appropriate as a sole centre of loyalty in a global society made one by science and technology. Politically, it is divisive. Economically, it provides too small a market for modern industry. Socially, it gives no satisfying answer to Mann's demands for meaning in his life. But what can take its place? Ideology in the shape of communism claims to replace it and build instead a worldwide fraternity of Socialist republics. But communism, too, is split by the compelling national claims of Communist states. This new book by Barbara Ward examined these paradoxes and looks towards alternative methods of world order. – Front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Dust Jacket price-clipped.
