  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • Innovative Means to Promote Peace During World War I. Julia Grace Wales and Her Plan for Continuous Mediation
    Master’s Degree programme in International Relations Second Cycle (D.M. 270/2004) Final Thesis Innovative Means to Promote Peace During World War I. Julia Grace Wales and Her Plan for Continuous Mediation. Supervisor Ch. Prof. Bruna Bianchi Assistant supervisor Ch. Prof. Geraldine Ludbrook Graduand Flaminia Curci Matriculation Number 860960 Academic Year 2017 / 2018 ABSTRACT At the breakout of World War I many organizations for promoting peace emerged all over the world and in the United States as well, especially after the subsequent American declaration of war in April 1917. Peace movements began to look for new means for settling the dispute, and a large contribution was offered by women. World War I gave women the chance to rise their public acknowledgment and to increase their rights through war-related activities. The International Congress of Women at The Hague held in April 1915, demonstrates the great ability of women in advocating peace activities. Among the resolutions adopted by Congress stands out the Plan for Continuous Mediation without Armistice theorized by the Canadian peace activist Julia Grace Wales (see Appendix II). This thesis intends to investigate Julia Grace Wales’ proposal for a Conference of neutral nations for continuous and independent mediation without armistice. After having explored women’s activism for peace in the United States with a deep consideration to the role of women in Canada, the focus is addressed on a brief description of Julia Grace Wales’ life in order to understand what factors led her to conceive such a plan. Through the analysis of her plan and her writings it is possible to understand that her project is not only an international arbitration towards the only purpose of welfare, but also an analysis of the conditions that led to war so as to change them for avoiding future wars.

For more information, please contact [email protected],[email protected]. HONOUR'S ROLE IN THE INTERNATIONAL STATES' SYSTEM* ALLEN Z. 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.
