Notes
On the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) see David Mitrany (1946), American Interpretations: Four Political Essays, (London: Contact Publications). The TVA as a blueprint for international cooperation is mentioned in
David Mitrany (1954), Food and Freedom, London: Batchworth Press, pp. 33–4.
See Aristophanes (1908 [405 BC]), The Frogs, translated by Gilbert Murray, (London: George Allen & Sons), pp. 34/5.
Mitrany worked as international affairs adviser for Unilever from 1943 to 1960. On the nature of this appointment see Sir Frederick Pedler (1976), ‘Mitrany in Unilever’, Millennium 5(2): 196–9.
He seems to be referring here to David Mitrany (1925), The Problem of International Sanctions, (London: H. Milford/Oxford University Press).
David Mitrany (1975), The Functional Theory of Politics, (New York: St. Martin’s Press), p. 61.
