Three Essays on Classical Liberal Thought on War and Imperialism
Abstract
The dissertation explores the thought of individuals within the classical liberal tradition on issues of war, imperialism, militarism, and alternative paths to peace. The first two chapters consist of a two-part survey of the views of twenty key British and non-British figures in the classical liberal tradition on the issues of war, imperialism, and alternative paths to peace. The final chapter consists of an analysis of the classical liberal justification for the state provision of military defense against both internal and external threats.
