Independent armed states act out of fear and self-interest, leading to arms races and destructive conflicts. Dickinson believes this \"international anarchy\" can be overcome only through collective security, diplomacy, and public oversight of foreign policy as the true path to lasting peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWar: Its Nature, Cause and Cure\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful indictment of war as an instrument of policy, exposing war as irrational, morally bankrupt, and a threat to civilization itself. Warfare cannot be controlled by treaties or balances of power - it can only be abolished. The book dismantles the myths of national honour and military necessity, reveals the complicity of science and the press, and challenges the economic greed and imperial ambitions that fuel global conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoldsworthy Lowes Dickinson (1862-1932) was a philosopher, historian and political scientist, who spent most of his career in Cambridge, England.
