This is a pioneering survey of the rise of internationalism as a
mainstream political idea mobilised in support of the ambitions of
indigenous populations, feminists and anti-colonialists, as well as
politicians, economists and central bankers. Leading scholars trace
the emergence of intergovernmental organisations such as the League
of Nations, the United Nations, the International Labour
Organisation and the World Health Organisation, and the
corresponding expansion in transnational sociability and economic
entanglement throughout the long twentieth century. They reveal how
international thought helped to drive major transformations in the
governance of global issues from refugees to slavery and
sex-trafficking, from the environment to women's rights and human
rights, and from state borders and national minorities to health,
education, trade and commerce. In challenging dominant perceptions
of how contemporaries thought of nations, states and empires,
Internationalisms radically alters our understanding of the major
events and ideas that shaped twentieth-century politics, culture,
economics and society.
