Rat koji je trebalo da okonča sve ratove − Mir u evropskoj nauci između 1918. I 1939. godine

Abstract

This essay is a review of the most important European peace science initiatives in the period between the two world wars, including their precursors from the 19 th and the beginning of the 20 th century. In the first part, the authors give an analysis of peace proposals suggested by the prominent pacifists, scientists and politicians of that time, who were deeply influenced by their experiences of the First World War. This section covers the analysis of international (peace education and the science of international relations) and national peace science projects, including both the First World War victorious (United Kingdom, France, etc.) and defeated powers (Austria and Germany). In the second and final part, authors come to the conclusions about correlations of the First World War and development of the peace science, about purposefulness of the respective interwar peace initiatives, and also offer an explanation regarding the alleged failure of those initiatives to prevent the Second World War.
