A work of early twentieth-century political thought and international relations, Towards a Lasting Settlement presents a rigorous and idealistic argument for the foundations of a durable peace in the aftermath of World War I. Charles Roden Buxton, a prominent British liberal thinker and humanitarian, assembles a collection of essays from leading progressive minds of the era, each addressing the structural and moral conditions necessary to prevent future conflicts. The volume argues that lasting peace cannot rest on punitive treaties or imperial ambitions, but must instead be grounded in principles of self-determination, international arbitration, and economic justice. Written with earnest conviction and scholarly clarity, it reflects the hopeful yet urgent tone of a generation determined to reshape the world order. A vital primary source for students of diplomatic history, liberal internationalism, and the intellectual currents that shaped the League of Nations era, it remains a compelling document of its time.
