Standard histories of European integration emphasize the immediate
aftermath of World War II as the moment when the seeds of the
European Union were first sown. However, the interwar years
witnessed a flurry of concern with the reconstruction of the world
order, generating arguments that cut across the different social
sciences, then plunged in a period of disciplinary soul-searching
and feverish activism. Economics was no exception: several of the
most prominent interwar economists, such as F. A. Hayek, Jan
Tinbergen, Lionel Robbins, Francois Perroux, J. M. Keynes and
Robert Triffin, contributed directly to larger public discussions
on peace, order and stability. This edited volume combines these
different strands of historical narrative into a unified framework,
showing how political economy was integral to the interwar
literature on international relations and, conversely, how
economists were eager to incorporate international politics into
their own concerns. The book brings together a group of scholars
with varied disciplinary backgrounds, whose combined perspectives
allow us to explore three analytical layers. The first part studies
how different forms of economic knowledge, from economic
programming to international finance, were used in the quest for a
stable European order. The second part focuses on the existence of
conflicting expectations about the role of social scientific
knowledge, either as a source of technical solutions or as an input
for enlightened public discussion. The third part illustrates how
certain ideas and beliefs found concrete expression in specific
institutional settings, which amplified their political leverage.
The three parts are enclosed by an introductory essay, laying out
the broad topics explored in the volume, and a substantial
postscript tying all the historical threads together.
