%0 Journal Article %T The Failure of Collective Security in the Post World Wars I and II International System %A Joseph C. Ebegbulem %J Transcience : a Journal of Global Studies %D 2011 %I Global Studies Programme %X The League of Nations and the United Nations Organization were two organizations established for the maintenance of peace and security in the international system. After a panoramic discourse of the meaning and nature of Collective Security, the paper examines the problems of collective security in the international system; its failure under the League of Nations and the United Nations. The paper concludes that the weaknesses inherent in the system do not make it unuseful as it is a relevant factor in the maintenance of international peace and security. %U http://www2.hu-berlin.de/transcience/Vol2_Issue2_2011_23_29.pdf
