Between 1920 and 1950, British and US internationalists called for
aviation and atomic energy to be taken out of the hands of
nation-states, and instead used by international organizations such
as the League of Nations and the United Nations. An international
air force was to enforce collective security and internationalized
civil aviation was to bind the world together through trade and
communication. The bomber and the atomic bomb, now associated with
death and devastation, were to be instruments of world peace.
Drawing on rich archival research and focusing on public and
private discourse relating to the control of aviation and atomic
energy, Waqar H. Zaidi highlights neglected technological and
militaristic strands in twentieth-century liberal internationalism,
and transforms our understanding of the place of science and
technology in twentieth-century international relations.
