Oxford University Press has published
a new book on the new international order after World War I in the former
Habsburg lands.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Over the last two decades, the
"new international order" of 1919 has grown into an expansive new
area of research across multiple disciplines. With the League of Nations at its
heart, the interwar settlement's innovations in international organizations,
international law, and many other areas shaped the world we know today.
This book presents the first
study of the relationship between this new international order and the new
regional order in Central and Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Habsburg
empire. An analysis of the co-implication of these two orders is grounded in
four key scholarly interventions: understanding the legacies of empire in
international organizations; examining regionalism in the work of interwar
international institutions; creating an integrated history of the interwar
order in Europe; and testing recent claims of the conceptual connection between
nationalism and internationalism.
With chapters covering
international health, international financial oversight, human trafficking,
minority rights, scientific networks, technical expertise, passports,
commercial treaties, borders and citizenship, and international policing, this
book pioneers a regional approach to international order, and explores the
origins of today's global governance in the wake of imperial collapse.
