The theories on foreign policy and international relations which have emerged in the last decade stress the interaction between foreign policy and internal social structure. Contemporary analysis of this interaction has benefited from refined social science methods and concepts developed since the end of the Second World War, but awareness of the connection between foreign policy and internal policy is not new. For instance, as long ago as the eve of the First World War Rudolf Goldscheid wrote that “nothing is more Utopian than the belief that substantial alterations in internal policy can be realized without simultaneous corresponding changes in foreign [policy] and vice versa.” The interaction between Austro-Hungarian foreign policy and the nationality problem in the monarchy from 1867 until 1914 is a striking example of Goldscheid's general thesis.

Целью исследования является изучение прямой связи между внутриполити- ческими процессами в Великобритании и ее внешнеполитической концепцией, которая во многом привела к разрушению существовавшей в международных отношениях системы и эскалации захватнических авантюр нацистской Германии. В числе использованных мате- риалов – мемуары и заметки как видных британских политических деятелей – «Вторая Мировая война» У. Черчилля, – так и советских дипломатов, работавших в Великобрита- нии. Помимо этого, в исследовании задействованы данные из британских и российских внешнеполитических и военных архивов, работы военных историков, социологов и по- литологов из России и США. В результате было установлено прямое влияние политиче- ских, экономических и социальных процессов в Великобритании на специфику ее внешней политики данного периода. The article is concerned with the specifi c features of the interbellum international relations, offering a comprehensive study of the topic through the analysis of the interior situation in the United Kingdom, (the state which had been considered as one of the champions of the international relations system of Versailles), and its impact on these exact specifi c features. The genesis of the Second World War is, by defi nition, an important topic in the fi eld of international relations: being «multidimensionally» studied, it can present the understanding of global confl ict’s origin, the knowledge about events and processes that cause them. The aim of this study is the establishment of direct connection between the interior social, economic and political agenda of the UK in that era and its concept of foreign policy that , to some defi nite extend, lead to the demolition of the international relations system of that time and gave birth to the aggression of nazi Germany in Europe. The memories and historical notes of the British interbellum political establishment and soviet diplomats, the materials extracted from military and foreign affairs archives of the UK and the USSR, comprehensive studies of Russian and American historians, sociologists and economists have been used as a scientifi c material for this research.

AbstractAlthough the Westphalian model takes many forms the association of Westphalian and sovereign equality is a prominent one. This article argues firstly that sovereign equality was not present as a normative principle at Westphalia. It argues further that while arguments for sovereign equality were present in the eighteenth century they did not rely on, or even suggest, a Westphalian provenance. It was, for good reasons, not until the late nineteenth century that the linkages of Westphalia and sovereign equality became commonplace, and even then sovereign equality and its linkage with Westphalia were disputed. It was not until after the Second World War, notably through the influential work of Leo Gross that the linkage of Westphalia and sovereign equality became not only widely accepted, but almost undisputed until quite recently. The article concludes by suggesting that not only did Gross bequeath a dubious historiography but that this historiography is an impediment to contemporary International Relations.

For the first time in Russian historiography, the article draws attention to the connection of the War of Khalkhin Gol in 1939 and the conclusion of the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact of 1939. For a long time, historical science considered these two major events in the history of the USSR and history of the world individually, without their historic relationship. The authors made an attempt to provide evidence of this relationship, showing the role that surrounding and defeating the Japanese army at Khalkhin Gol in August 1939 and signing in Moscow of the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact played in the history of the world. The study analyzes the foreign policy of the USSR in Europe, the reasons for the failure in the conclusion of the Anglo-Franco-Soviet military union in 1939 and the circumstances of the Pact. It shows the interrelation between the defeat of the Japanese troops at Khalkhin Gol and the need for the Soviet-German treaty. The authors describe the historic consequences of the conclusion of the pact for the further development of the Japanese-German relations and the course of the Second World War. They also present the characteristics of the views of these historical events in the Russian historiography.

The historical consciousness of the peoples of Europe is still being shaped by their own national histories. The question of the political order that prevailed during the interwar years has remained a perennial issue among historians. The dominant hallmark of this prelude to the Second World War was the rise of dictatorships and the question of whether we can characterise this period as one of uninterrupted crisis. This collection of studies examines the quest for a new European order and the interconnections between domestic and foreign policy during the 1920s and 1930s. It collates different national perspectives in a single volume and asks searching questions about the consequences of the decisions made during the period under examination. With contributions by Dragan Bakić, Maciej Górny, Kurt Hager, János Hóvári, Georg Kastner, Miklos Lojko, Markus Meckel, Ulrich Schlie, Christian Schmidt, Thomas Weber and Werner Weidenfeld.
