The Institution of International Order

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.
