Rebuilding The Postwar Order

By Francine McKenzie

Rebuilding the Postwar Order: Peace, Security and the UN-System, 1941-1948 explains how civil society and governments of the wartime allies conceived of peace and traces the international negotiations that resulted in the creation of the UN-system.

It adopts a multicentred approach, connects wartime ideas to earlier peacemaking efforts, and reveals support for, as well as resistance and alternatives to, the emerging postwar order.

The King’s Felons

Church, State and Criminal Confinement In Early Tudor England

By Margaret McGlynn

The King's Felons examines how the legal establishment manipulated sanctuary and benefit of clergy to create alternatives to capital punishment in early Tudor England, and how and why their innovations fell apart in the decades after the Reformation.
