" This is a significant achievement, and it constitutes a major contribution to the literatures of human rights, international law, and international relations. Paupp brilliantly shows by historical inquiry that there has been a strain of world order thinking that derives from Woodrow Wilson that has long recognized the ethical and political need for a global structure based on international law and a commitment to human solidarity. With this book, added to his earlier work, I regard Paupp as the most important largely unappreciated writer now addressing in a creative and persuasive way the unresolved agenda of global reform".
