Produktbeschreibung

The history of internationalism and international institutions such as the League of Nations and the United Nations is a rapidly evolving field, as a new generation of historians advances through the breaches in older historiographies lately fashioned by Susan Pedersen, Mark Mazower, Patricia Clavin, Erez Manela and other proponents of the 'new international history'. At the centre of this new scholarship is a re-examination of the role of the League and the UN in shaping global orders across the twentieth century. This edited volume brings together these two institutions in order to trace the continuities and changes between the two bodies.

Rezensionen

"Simon Jackson and Alanna O'Malley's groundbreaking new edited collection, The Institution of International Order: From the League of Nations to the United Nations explores the history of these two international institutions and the relationship between them. Gathering eleven different scholars from diverse fields and disciplines, together they chart, as Jackson and O'Malley summarize, "the evolution of internationalist ideas, institutions, and practices at-and between-the League and UN". In so doing, they exhibit the very latest in historical scholarship on these two international organizations."
