Manchester Okulu siyasal ve toplumsal yönden ilerleme hedefinde, bireylerin maddi beklentilerini iyileştirebilecek ekonomik görüşler geliştirirken, uluslararası ticaretin barışa olan katkılarına odaklanmıştır. Ticaret ve ekonomi büyüdükçe insanlar birbirine bağlanacak, siyasal yöntemler ve diplomasi gelişecektir. Siyasi çözümlerin gelişmesini engelleyen milletlerin kendini yüceltmesi, şovenizm ve milliyetçilik duyguları daha ılımlı bir tutuma dönüşebilecektir. Makalenin amacı, devletlerin siyasal ve ekonomik ulusal güç elde edebilmek ve kendi ulusal/iç politikalarındaki sorunları gizleyebilmek adına uluslararası politikaya nasıl yön verdiklerini ele alan Manchester Okulu ve Richard Cobden’in dünya barışının gerçekleştirilebilirliğine yönelik görüşleri ve çözüm önerilerini değerlendirmektir. Manchester Okulu kendi iç politikalarının dayandığı temeller olan merkantilizmin, korumacılığın ve aristokrat sınıfın gücünün savaşlarla pekiştirildiğini iddia eder. Çözüm önerileri serbest ticaretin geliştirilmesi, milletler arası iş birliğinin geliştirilmesi, korumacılığın kaldırılması, tahkimdir.

The Virtue of Free Trade: Peace

Öz

The Manchester School focused on the contribution of international trade to peace while developing economic views that could improve the financial expectations of individuals in the goal of political and social progress. As trade and economy grow, people will be connected, and political methods and diplomacy will develop. The self-glorification of nations, which hinder the development of political solutions, the feelings of chauvinism and nationalism may turn into a more moderate attitude. The aim of the article is to evaluate the views and solution proposals of the Manchester School and Richard Cobden on the realizability of world peace, which discuss how states steer international politics in order to gain political and economic national power and to hide the problems in their own national / domestic policies. The Manchester School claims that mercantilism, protectionism and the power of the aristocratic class, which are the foundations of its domestic policies, were reinforced by wars. The proposed solutions are the development of free trade, the development of international co-operation, the abolition of protectionism and arbitration.
