Greater European Governments (1918) - Lowell Lawrence Abbott

Greater European Governments is a book written by Abbott Lawrence Lowell, published in 1918. The book is a study of the political systems of Europe and their potential for unification. Lowell argues that the current system of small, independent nations is inefficient and unsustainable, and that a larger, more centralized government would be more effective in promoting peace and prosperity.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the political systems of Europe, including a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each system. The second part explores the potential for unification, including the challenges that would need to be overcome and the benefits that could be achieved. The third part offers specific proposals for the creation of a larger, more centralized European government.Lowell's proposals include the creation of a European parliament, a European executive branch, and a European court system. He also suggests that a common currency and a common language would be necessary for the success of a unified Europe.Overall, Greater European Governments is a thought-provoking study of the potential for political unification in Europe. While some of Lowell's specific proposals may seem outdated or impractical today, his ideas continue to be relevant to ongoing debates about the future of Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
