Summary: "Towards an Enduring Peace: A Symposium of Peace Proposals and Programs" compiled by Randolph S. Bourne is a collection of essays and proposals focusing on international peace, written during the early 20th century. This work aggregates various perspectives and suggestions from prominent thinkers of the time, reflecting on the causes of war and offering insights into creating a lasting peace following the widespread devastation of World War I. The opening of this symposium presents the importance of reassessing the presiding understanding of nationalism and imperialism in the context of war, emphasizing that economic motivations drive international conflicts. The introduction by Franklin H. Giddings argues that the war has exposed the fallacies of certain idealistic views on world peace and signals a need for more practical and concrete solutions to prevent future conflicts. The text points to the interplay of economic interests, dominance over weaker states, and the inadequacy of traditional diplomacy as central issues needing resolution to foster a more stable global order. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
