There is a woeful neglect of the current United Nations in the
academic and policy literatures, and so it is unsurprising that an
examination of that multilateral structure before 1945 shows an
even more egregious absence of analytical attention. Such ignorance
conveniently ignores the forgotten genius of 1942-1945, namely in
the wide substantive and geographic relevance of multilateralism
during the World War II and in the foundations for the contemporary
world order. The wartime and immediate post-war United Nations was
not simply dictated by the US State Department, Whitehall, and the
foreign ministries of the West-even a generation before
decolonisation had proceeded apace and two-thirds of UN member
states moved into the limelight as erstwhile colonies. These essays
interrogate the extent to which anti-colonialists and other
nationalists resisting imperial rule embraced the promise of a
rule-based world order as a normatively and operationally valuable
projection in 1945. They critically review the worlds of 1945 and
2015, of then and now, to determine the role of continuity and
change, of the continuing bases for compromise and for the clashes
between the Global South and North. This book was previously
published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
