The Rise of Democracy and the Rise of National Self Determination
In the book i want you to explain this idea that's at the core of the geneva school, which is the proposed division between economic governments and the governmants of other matters. Why did they think that the economy needed to be protected from national governments? And how did they think t a that could happen? So in the story i'm telling, the twentieth century is really marked by two events in particular. The first is the end of empire; then associated with that is the generalization of universal suffrage or one person, one vote democracy. That principle doesn't always, but can run directly against the notion of global economic interdependence.
