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 SN - 9781107477568 UR - https://swbplus.bsz-bw.de/bsz477065643inh.htm UR - https://doi.org/10.1017/9781107477568 DO - 10.1017/9781107477568 LA - English N1 - edited by Glenda Sluga, University of Sydney, Patricia Clavin, University of Oxford ID - 88090559X ER -
