Summary: "The Problem of Foreign Policy" by Gilbert Murray is a political analysis written in the early 20th century. The work examines the challenges of foreign policy in the aftermath of World War I, focusing primarily on the themes around peace, ethical governance, and the societal impacts of wartime mentality on politics. The author argues for higher standards in political conduct, especially in the context of the League of Nations and the pressing need for international cooperation. At the start of the text, Murray reflects on the disconnection that can occur between the elite's understanding of political issues and the average public opinion. He emphasizes the urgent need for a return to classical standards of integrity and rational governance, highlighting how the war has led to a degradation in political behavior. Murray critiques the handling of post-war treaties, especially the Treaty of Versailles, pointing out how punitive measures against Germany could sow the seeds of future conflict. He discusses the moral failings of leaders and foresees potential repercussions if the cycle of revenge persists, advocating instead for a cooperative global approach that prioritizes sustainable peace and the resolution of grievances through dialogue rather than force.
