Representing a crucial intervention in the history of
internationalism, transnationalism and global history, this edited
collection examines a variety of international movements,
organisations and projects developed in Europe or by Europeans over
the course of the 20th century. Reacting against the old
Eurocentricism, much of the scholarship in the field has refocussed
attention on other parts of the globe. This volume attempts to
rethink the role played by ideas, people and organisations
originating or located in Europe, including some of their
consequential global impact. The chapters cover aspects of
internationalism such as the importance of language, communication
and infrastructures of internationalism; ways of grappling with the
history of internationalism as a lived experience; and the roles of
European actors in the formulation of different and often competing
models of internationalism. It demonstrates that the success and
failure of international programmes were dependent on participants'
ability to communicate across linguistic but also political,
cultural and economic borders. By bringing together commonly
disconnected strands of European history and 'history from below',
this volume rebalances and significantly advances the field, and
promotes a deeper understanding of internationalism in its many
historical guises. The volume is conceived as a way of thinking
about internationalism that is relevant not just to scholars of
Europe, but to international and global history more generally.
