Excerpt from The European Commonwealth: Problems Historical and Diplomatic The underlying unity of the book will be found in the problem presented to Europe by the evolution of the Nation State and the working of the influential though elusive principle of nationality. For four hundred years the founda tion of the unified and consolidated nation-state was the goal of political ambition. The present war has raised in an acute form the question whether the resulting product can be regarded as the last word in political science? Has the process ended in bankruptcy? Is the States-system, in the form with which Europe has been familiar, since the close of the fifteenth century, destined to disappear? If so, what 15 to take its place? These are problems rather for the political philosopher or the international jurist than for the mere historian; but the historian may perhaps make some modest contribution to their solution, and it is in the hope of making it, at a moment when the world is confronted by a multitude of obstinate questionings, that I have been moved to publish this volume.
