"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. Using an interdisciplinary approach, contributors explore the spatial paradox of two fundamental features of modern internationalism. First, overcoming limitations of place to go beyond the nation-state in search of the shared interests of humankind, and second the role of the spaces in which people came together to conceive and enact their internationalist ideas. From Paris 1919 to Bandung 1955, this book shows how modern internationalism interacted with the ongoing influence of nation-states and imperial sovereignty through international conferences. While international 'permanent institutions' such as the League of Nations, UN and Institute of Pacific Relations constantly negotiated national andimperial politics, lesser-resourced and more radical political networks more frequently targeted states. 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"--

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.

Recenzijos

It is commonplace to single out international conferences such as those at Paris in 1919 and at Bretton Woods in 1944 as important turning points in world history. This book reminds us how important conferences, easily dismissed as 'talking shops,' have been in the evolution of international cooperation in general. * John Agnew, Professor, UCLA, USA * This volume presents a successful outcome of interdisciplinarity to stimulate lively intellectual conversations. It makes an exciting intervention in our understanding of the international, with the critical scrutiny of geographers on what place means, coupled with the depth of historical engagement that historians can offer. * Naoko Shimazu, Professor, Yale-NUS College and Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, Singapore * If you think that international conferencing is not a practice you need to read up on, think again! This is a rich collection on the kinds of places that, while vital instruments of international governance, are often delegated to footnotes. An excellent read to those interested in international affairs. * Merje Kuus, Distinguished Professor of Geography, The University of British Columbia, Canada *
