Norman Angell

Recorded name: 诺曼·安吉尔

Norman Angell was a British author whose work examined the economic costs of war, nationalism, and international order.

Original Chinese introduction

诺曼·安吉尔是英国作家,长期讨论战争的经济代价、民族主义与国际秩序。

Angell discussed the relationship between conquest and economic gain in 'The Great Illusion' and its revisions. He also attempted to explain monetary issues using games and discussed collective security and sovereignty in his works from the interwar to postwar periods. His arguments must be read alongside the war experiences and policy propositions of each period and cannot be simplified to 'war will not happen'.

Original Chinese context

安吉尔在《大幻觉》及其修订中讨论征服与经济收益之间的关系。他也尝试用游戏解释货币问题,并在战间至战后著作中讨论集体安全与主权。他的论证需要与各时期战争经验及政策主张一同阅读,不能简化为“战争不会发生”。

3 included contributions have incomplete evidence; the relevant gap appears with that contribution.

Original scope note

This research record currently includes 3 outcomes within a limited scope; M and attribution shares are revisable judgments. Uncovered content and negative effects not yet clarified are not treated as zero; specific gaps appear in the item-by-item explanations.

CALCULATION

How the score is calculated

Q = 10^(M/2) − 1; Lᵢ = aᵢ × Qᵢ; L = Σ Lᵢ; S = 2 × log₁₀(1 + L).

M is an outcome’s assessed magnitude and a is the person’s allocated share. A standalone score is only a per-item reference; the attributed light from distinct contributions is what can be combined.

Record year1909–1938

summaryProposed an interdependence argument that war conquest does not automatically translate into a net national economic gain, and revised and applied it in post-war and 1930s versions.

Original Chinese · summary

提出战争征服不自动转化为国家净经济收益的相互依赖论证,并在战后和1930年代版本中修订、应用。

M rationaleThe original book, postwar testing, and multiple revisions over thirty years form a continuous family of theoretical texts, estimated at M5.8; the number of versions does not mechanically increase M, and empirical counterexamples to the proposition and imperial limits enter the assessment.

Original Chinese · M rationale

跨三十年的原书、战后检验和多次修订构成持续理论文本族,估M5.8;版本数量不机械增M,命题的经验反例和帝国边界进入评估。

Original Chinese · summary

把民族主义/帝国心理、集体安全、民航国际化和主权约束组织为可比较的制度论证组。
