Exploring how modern internationalism emerged as a negotiated
process through international conferences, this edited collection
studies the spaces and networks through which states, civil society
institutions and anti-colonial political networks used these events
to realise their visions of the international. Taking an
interdisciplinary approach, contributors explore the spatial
paradox of two fundamental features of modern internationalism.
First, internationalism demanded the overcoming of space,
transcending the nation-state in search of the shared interests of
humankind. Second, internationalism was geographically contingent
on the places in which people came together to conceive and enact
their internationalist ideas. From Paris 1919 to Bandung 1955 and
beyond, this book explores international conferences as the sites
in which different forms of internationalism assumed material and
social form. While international ‘permanent institutions’ such
as the League of Nations, UN and Institute of Pacific Relations
constantly negotiated national and imperial politics,
lesser-resourced political networks also used international
conferences to forward their more radical demands. Taken together
these conferences radically expand our conception of where and how
modern internationalism emerged, and make the case for focusing on
internationalism in a contemporary moment when its merits are being
called into question.
