  • Internationalism — EGO
    11/05/2021 Internationalism — EGO Internationalism by Daniel Laqua The term "internationalism" denotes a variety of impulses and initiatives that favoured and facilitated cooperation between individuals, groups, organisations or governments. The multifarious nature of internationalism meant that it manifested itself in different places and manifold ways. Rather than being informed by a coherent political or social agenda, internationalism was deployed by a wide array of political, social and cultural actors. This essay highlights such diversity and therefore approaches internationalism from several angles: as an idea, a narrative, a set of practices and a quest for international organisation. TABLE OF CONTENTS . Introduction . Internationalism as an Idea and Narrative . Internationalism as Practice . Internationalism as Organisation . Sites of Internationalism . A Multifarious Phenomenon . Appendix . Sources . Literature . Notes Indices Citation Introduction In 1937, the Hungarian-born, US-based pacifist Rosika Schwimmer (1877–1948) (➔ Media Link #ab) and her American colleague Lola Maverick Lloyd (1875–1944) (➔ Media Link #ac) issued a call for a "World Constitutional Convention" that would create a "Federation of Nations".1 Their statement was a formative episode in the history of the World Federalist movement and distinctive in its insistence on democratic representation as a key element of global governance.2 Faced with aggressive nationalisms, Schwimmer and Lloyd were convinced that internationalism was not only a matter of political organisation but also of attitudes. To them, it seemed clear that "Only international-minded men and women can be trusted to reorganize human society on a safe basis".3 Accordingly, any attempt to reorganise the world would require educational efforts, for instance the production of school textbooks that would stress "the moral, economic, scientific and artistic contributions to mankind's progress and happiness by all nations, races, classes, creeds and both sexes".

  • “It Is a Strange Thing Not to Belong to Any Country, As Is My Case Now”.1 Fascism, Refugees, Statelessness, and Rosika Schwimmer (1877–1948)
    “It is a strange thing not to belong to any country, as is my case now”.1 Fascism, Refugees, Statelessness, and Rosika Schwimmer (1877–1948) by Dagmar Wernitznig* Abstract: This essay attempts to contextualise Rosika Schwimmer’s political, public, and lit- erary activism, particularly pertaining to her outspoken resistance and protest against emerg- ing European fascisms from the 1920s onwards. At that time, Schwimmer – one of the most transnational and transatlantic feminists-suffragists before and during the First World War – was stranded as stateless exile and dissident in the United States, with no prospects of gaining American (or any other) citizenship. Accordingly, her pacifist agenda also included adminis- trative and parliamentary models of universal disarmament, war prevention, and international citizenship, such as, for instance, expressed by her Campaign for World Government, also briefly discussed in this essay. The essay then concludes with Schwimmer’s endeavours to help victims of fascism in Europe before, during, and after the Second World War. The world is today a china shop and three or four mad bulls are raging through it, destroying life and material with cata- clysmic fury. Countries disappear from the map of the world like caved-in geological formations during cosmic catastrophies [sic]. Tens of millions of human beings are sucked into the whirlpool and hundreds of millions of hu- man beings look horrified at the spectacle. They stand mo- tionless, petrified by the fear of meeting a similar fate. Fear is their only sensation. Will one or the other mad bull crash next into their corner of the china shop? Who is doomed next? 1 Rosika Schwimmer to Norwegian feminist and politician Betzy Kjelsberg, 25 Apr.
