David Mitrany

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Mitrany (18881975), a Romanian born, naturalized British scholar, was a historian and political theorist. His work is the basis of the theory of functionalism, also known as liberal institutionalism (see Liberalism), and international functionalism.

Mitrany pioneered modern integrative theory. This discipline is the third main liberal approach to international relations (along with international liberalism and idealism). The basic principle maintains that international (not only economical) cooperation is the best means of softening antagonism in the international environment.
