‎Einer von 9 Dokumentenbänden für das Genfer Schiedsgericht über finanzielle Ansprüche Englands durch die amerikanischen Beschlagnahmungen während des Nordamerikanischen Bürgerkrieges, den sogenannten "Alabama Claims". - "Am 15.9.1872 verurteilte ein in Genf tagendes Schiedsgericht Grossbritannien zur Zahlung einer hohen Entschädigung an die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, weil es im Sezessionskrieg seinen internat. Verpflichtungen zur Einhaltung strikter Neutralität nicht nachgekommen war. Gemäss Urteil beging die brit. Regierung eine schuldhafte Nachlässigkeit, indem sie zuliess, dass von ihrem Territorium aus zwanzig bewaffnete Schiffe -- darunter die Korvette "Alabama" -- an die aufständ. Südstaatler geliefert wurden. Der Genfer oder (geläufiger) Alabama-Schiedsspruch verdankt seine Bekanntheit einerseits seiner Bedeutung als Beispiel einer friedl. Konfliktregelung zwischen zwei Grossmächten. Zum andern stand bei dieser Affäre, die in den Vereinigten Staaten nach Beendigung des Bürgerkriegs hohe emotionale Wellen warf, für beide Länder polit., rechtl. und hinsichtl. des nationalen Prestiges sehr viel auf dem Spiel. Aus Schweizer Sicht ist erwähnenswert, dass der Schweizer Schiedsrichter, alt Bundesrat Jakob Stämpfli, im Schiedsverfahren eine entscheidende Rolle spielte und dass die Schlichtung dieses heiklen Streitfalls der Entwicklung Genfs zu einem internat. Forum förderl. war."

Bundesarchivs. Kanten leicht berieben. One of 9 volumes of documents for the Geneva Arbitration Court on the financial claims of England by the American seizures during the North American Civil War the so-called "Alabama Claims". - On 15.9.1872, an arbitral tribunal meeting in Geneva ordered Great Britain to pay high compensation to the United States of America because it had failed to meet its international obligations during the war of secession. It had failed to comply with its obligations to maintain strict neutrality. According to the judgement, the British government committed culpable negligence by allowing twenty armed ships -- including the "Alabama" corvette -- to rebel from its territory. Southerners were delivered. The Geneva or (common) Alabama arbitral award owes its fame on the one hand to its importance as an example of a peaceful, peaceful and peaceful world. Settlement of conflicts between two major powers. On the other hand, in this affair, which in the United States, after the end of the civil war, caused high emotional waves, a great deal was at stake for both countries politically, legally and in terms of national prestige. From a Swiss perspective, it is worth noting that the Swiss arbitrator, former Federal Councillor Jakob Stämpfli, played a decisive role in the arbitration process and that the arbitration of this delicate dispute has helped Geneva's development into an international centre of excellence. Forum." (HLS). The present volume, lavishly bound, unites part of the correspondence between some of the ships and the English admiralty. - Title with deleted stamp of Switzerland.

‎America Rising: Power and Political Economy in the First Nation‎

‎New Brunswick (NJ), Transaction Publishers, 2009. First edition. Octavo, 235 x 160 mm, (xiii) 265 pp. Hardcover with dust jacket. "The United States became a great power in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and a superpower during World War II without quite knowing it. Few Americans fully appreciate the fact today. How many people know that in recent years we have had 250,000 troops in 700 bases around the world? Consider our recent history of military operations in the Caribbean, East Asia, the Far East, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Balkans. In America Rising, David Felix attempts to explain how and why America became a superpower by examining the political and economic factors that have driven its ascendance and their relationship throughout history. Felix begins with the dawn of America, showing how America amassed wealth and political power from the start through wars, assertions of economic might, and the creation of a cultural and philosophical base. The nation began with a political order, derived from our British origins, which enabled our pragmatic culture to take advantage of the vast wealth of a near-virgin continent. Political and economic freedom were paired, authority yielding to both freedoms. Our farmers and businessmen were dreamers, manufacturing realities out of those dreams. Felix's account then makes a point of neoclassical economics as an anvil on which to hammer out a sharper sense of the content of our existence. This book, which demonstrates the author's zest for historical analysis and great story-telling ability, points to the central fact of a rising America--the intensely energizing interaction between polity and economy. The United States is the greatest power in world history, but the rise of another great power, China, is beginning to be increasingly apparent. One trusts that, drawing upon its deep resources, America will remember its history and traditions and continue as a superpower." (Front and back flap)‎
