  • September 1, 2015 Dear Colloquium Members: in a 1990 Supreme Court
    September 1, 2015 Dear Colloquium Members: In a 1990 Supreme Court case, Justice Brennan highlighted the global scope of the American regulatory state. “Foreign nationals must now take care not to violate our drug laws, our antitrust laws, our securities laws, and a host of other federal criminal statutes,” he wrote. “The enormous expansion of federal criminal jurisdiction outside our Nation’s boundaries has led one commentator to suggest that our country’s three largest exports are now ‘rock music, blue jeans, and United States law.’” In just a few decades, the relatively weak American state that existed at the dawn of the twentieth century began to regulate conduct around the world. My dissertation, Regulating the World: American Law and International Business, traces this transformation and describes efforts to regulate foreign and multinational businesses using American law. I seek to recover what Sam Moyn has called “the forgotten radicalism” that led U.S. policymakers to extend U.S. law overseas to reform foreign legal systems and to regulate foreign actors. Yet my research has led me to a deeper appreciation of the limits on this radicalism. Like the New Deal within the United States, which required its own compromises with the continued sovereignty of the southern states over race, the spread of American law effected important changes only because it left the basic structure of the international system intact. As I researched the emergence of a global regulatory state during the New Deal, I began to appreciate the deep relationship between U.S. law and U.S. foreign relations. As historian Mary Dudziak has recently pointed out, scholars of U.S.

  • The Ecumenical Movement and the Origins of the League Of
    IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by James M. Donahue __________________________ Mark A. Noll, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana April 2015 © Copyright 2015 James M. Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M. Donahue Carnegie, Wilfred Monod, Prince Max von Baden and Lord Robert Cecil.

  • Internationalism As a Current in the Peace Movement
    internationalism as a current in the peace movement: a symposium It is apparent from the literature on the peace movement and diplo­ matic thought throughout this century that an exploration of the some­ times contradictory use of the word internationalism is in order. Not only has it been used for different purposes by competing factions of the anti­ war movement and political leaders, but it has differing connotations for historians. This symposium is a contribution to a discussion of the term. Instead of asking for an abstract formulation, the editors invited several scholars to consider the roles of internationalist ideas in the peace move­ ment in the hope that a functional definition might emerge, one which might stimulate formal analyses and eventuate in a working understand­ ing. By way of opening the discussion, the editors asked Sondra Herman, the author of Eleven Against War: Studies in American Internationalist Thought, 1898-1921 (Stanford: Hoover Institution, 1969) to identify some conceptual problems that arise from her analysis. From the last decade of the nineteenth Sondra Herman century through the first world war of the University of California, twentieth, a small but prominent group of Santa Cruz American intellectuals and peace advocates argued for a distinctive approach to foreign relations which they called international­ ism. They represented a minority of the articulate public, probably a minority of the peace societies. They advanced ideas that were being heard also in Europe, and they debated the forms of international organi­ zation for years before President Woodrow Wilson took up their cause. When Wilson did use international ideals in his explanation of American mediation policy, and later of American war aims, he adjusted them considerably to the national interest.

HERTZ* INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Studying the First World War's origins, James Joll (1918-1994), Professor of International History at the University of London, offered this insight: "In the late 20th century we perhaps find it easier to conceive of foreign policy as being motivated by domestic preoccupations and by economic interests than by... considerations of prestige and glory. It does not necessarily follow that the men of 1914 thought in the same way as we do."' To recapture that age which ended during the First World War, this essay analyzes the meaning of "honour" as a staple of European political philosophy. The significance of the "word of honour" is then located in the context of European courtly society, where a king's honour is explored in relation to that of his country and in the "international of kings" that was the European States' system until 1917-18.

  • Henry Lane Wilson and Republican Policy Toward Mexico, 1913-1920
    Henry Lane Wilson and Republican Policy toward Mexico, 1913-1920 Raymond L. Shoemaker* Henry Lane Wilson of Crawfordsville, Indiana, is best known to students of American history for his activities as ambassador to Mexico between 1910 and 1913, during the tu- multuous Mexican Revolution, but Wilson also played a signifi- cant role after 1913 in the formulation of Republican party policy toward Mexico. This policy, which was openly hostile to the Mexican Revolution and its leaders, culminated in the party platform on which Warren G. Harding ran in 1920. From 1913 to 1920, Republican leaders repeatedly drew upon Henry Lane Wilson's knowledge and expertise to attack what they considered President Woodrow Wilson's weak and vacillating Mexican policy. Henry Lane Wilson had served for seventeen years in the American diplomatic corps prior to Woodrow Wilson's election to the presidency in 1912.' Included in his services were minis- tries to Chile, Greece, and Belgium, and an ambassadorship to Mexico. Diplomacy was a logical career for Wilson; his father, James Wilson, had also been a politician and diplomat who served as minister to Venezuela in his last years. Henry Lane Wilson first tried his hand at business, only to lose his small fortune in the Panic of 1893.* He then turned to politics, work- ing hard for William McKinley during the 1896 campaign. As a reward for his services, President McKinley appointed Wilson minister to Chile.3 At the time Wilson took up his post, United States-Chile relations were unsettled. Wilson was sympathetic to the Chi- leans and tried with some success to overcome their hostility.

  • The League of Nations: a Retreat from International Law?*
    Journal of Global History (2012), 7, pp. 210–232 & London School of Economics and Political Science 2012 doi:10.1017/S1740022812000046 The League of Nations: a retreat from international law?* Stephen Wertheim Department of History, Columbia University, 611 Fayerweather Hall, 1180 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10027, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract During the First World War, civil society groups across the North Atlantic put forward an array of plans for recasting international society. The most prominent ones sought to build on the Hague Conferences of 1899 and 1907 by developing international legal codes and, in a drastic innovation, obligating and militarily enforcing the judicial settlement of disputes. Their ideal was a world governed by law, which they opposed to politics. This idea was championed by the largest groups in the United States and France in favour of international organizations, and they had likeminded counterparts in Britain. The Anglo-American architects of the League of Nations, however, defined their vision against legalism. Their declaratory design sought to ensure that artificial machinery never stifled the growth of common consciousness. Paradoxically, the bold new experiment in international organization was forged from an anti-formalistic ethos – one that slowed the momentum of international law and portended the rise of global governance. Keywords global civil society, international law, international organization, internationalism, League of Nations Alfred Zimmern had reason to be scathing. As one of the chief architects of the League of Nations, he recognized the threat to his vision that lay across the Atlantic during the First World War. The threat arose precisely from the fact that his antagonists, like him, favoured the creation of an international organization to promote peace and cooperation, not least between his Britain and their America.

    CALL for Great Lakes Congress for A LEAGUE OF NATIONS to be held under the auspices of LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE CHICAGO February 10-11, 1919 The declared object of the LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE, formed. in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, on June 17, 1915, was that the United States should join a League of Nations which should use both economic and military force to preserve peace in the world; and In reaching the terms of armistice ter­ minating the war in Europe the represen­ tatives of Great Britain, France and Italy, concurred with the President of the United States in declaring that "a general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and ter­ ritorial integrity to great and small states alike"; and WORLD-WIDE interest has been aroused by Allies will secure, once Prussian mili­ these proposals, upon which the following tarism is destroyed, durable guarantees comments may be considered illustrative: for peace and independence for peoples great and small in a League of Nations such as has already been foreshadowed."

  • “The League of Nations and Its Many Fathers,” Gary B. Ostrower1
    “The League of Nations and its Many Fathers,” Gary B. Ostrower1 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 1 This paper appears in the Kanakadea Review, April 2015. Copyright with the author, 2014. 1" " I’ll fess up. I’m going to start this paper with a complaint. I like historian Margaret McMillian. At the dawn of this century, she wrote a great book called Paris: 1919. At least in my not-so-humble opinion, it remains the best account of the Paris Peace Conference (the Versailles Conference) that we have. And she starts her chapter about the League of Nations, a subject about which I’ve spent a bit of my life, this way: “Only a handful of eccentric historians still bother to study the League of Nations. Its archives…are largely unvisited. It’s very name evokes images of earnest bureaucrats, fuzzy liberal supporters, futile resolutions…and, above all, failure.” Wow! Eccentric historians indeed. OK, you stand warned. Even my kids think she’s on the money here. As I prepared to write this paper, I asked my students in a Western Civ survey course and also an American history survey if they knew what the League of Nations was. Only one-third answered in the affirmative. Ouch, I thought. So at the risk of oversimplification, I’ll answer my own question: The League was created in 1919 at the Paris conference to prevent another World War. It’s all more complicated than that, but that’s its essence. It became the heart of a system of collective security. Allow me to explain. In a number of ways, the League is best seen as a child of the nineteenth century.

  • Woodrow Wilson and “Peace Without Victory”: Interpreting the Reversal of 1917
    Woodrow Wilson and “Peace without Victory”: Interpreting the Reversal of 1917 John A. Thompson In a speech to the Senate on January 22, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson called for the European war to be brought to an end through “a peace without victory.” This, he argued, was the only sort of peace that could produce a lasting settlement: Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory President Woodrow Wilson upon which the terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. 1 Wilson went on to outline what he saw as the other “essential” elements of a lasting peace. Such a settlement would need to be based on such principles “as that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property,” recognition of the rights of small nations, freedom of the seas, and limitation of armaments on both land and sea. Above all, it required that the settlement be underwritten “by the guarantees of a universal covenant,” that it be “a peace made secure by the organized major force of mankind.” 2 John A. Thompson is emeritus reader in American History and an emeritus fellow of St Catharine’s College, University of Cambridge. He thanks Ross A. Kennedy for his helpful comments on an earlier draft of this article.

  • The League That Wasn't
    stephen wertheim The League That Wasn’t: American Designs for a Legalist-Sanctionist League of Nations and the Intellectual Origins of International Organization, 1914–1920* In 1919 “isolationism” was a word not yet in circulation, much less a disposition seen as the principal antagonist of a new Wilsonian “internationalism.” One could be forgiven for assuming otherwise. So many narratives of the political fight over the League of Nations portray President Woodrow Wilson as the embodiment of a monolithic U.S. internationalism that represented the only meaningful alternative to traditional isolationism. Such books, produced even today but first written surrounding World War II—when “isolationism” entered common usage and “internationalism” came to connote nonisolationism—tell the defeat of the Versailles Treaty as a two-sided morality tale. Wilson’s retro- spective sympathizers tar League opponents for hewing to naïve nonentangle- ment, hidebound nationalism, or greedy partisanship. Realist critics, meanwhile, offer no less simple a schematization, seeing their naysaying selves in Wilson’s contemporaneous foes.1 The twilight of the Cold War illuminated some creative intellectual positions among League opponents. Ralph Stone showed that senators irreconcilable to Wilson’s Treaty of Versailles championed international engagement nonethe- *My thanks to Benjamin Coates, Matthew Connelly, John Milton Cooper, Robert David Johnson, Ernest May, Mark Mazower, Adam McKeown, Thomas Meaney, Stefano Recchia, Simon Stevens, and the anonymous reviewers
