It argues that a cultural predisposition toward inter-ministerial rivalry were fundamental in shaping the character of French intelligence and all but precluded the emergence of an inter-departmental intelligence community in France during this period. Foreign intelligence activities remained concentrated in the general staff of the French army. This dynamic is contrasted with the situation in Great Britain, where foreign intelligence institutions were later in developing but evolved within the committee culture and inter-departmental dynamics that were characteristic of a more collegial British political and administrative culture.

The central contention of authors Oona Hathaway and Scott Shapiro is that this accord, which is better known as the ‘Kellogg-Briand Pact,’ inaugurated nothing less than ‘a new era of human history’ characterised by the decline of inter-state war as a structuring dynamic of the international system. In making their case, Hathaway and Shapiro present an eloquent argument for the importance of international law in shaping a more peaceful international future. They also intervene in the debate over the importance of ideas that is fundamental to the discipline of international relations.
