  • Research Group: United Nations Studies in Peace and Justice
    Research Group: United Nations Studies in Peace and Justice Summary of Activities Annual Report 2019 Prof. Alanna O’Malley June 2020 ABOUT THE RESEARCH GROUP UNITED NATIONS STUDIES IN PEACE AND JUSTICE Background and Mission The aim of the United Nations (UN) Studies Chair is to ultimately change perceptions of the UN. The Chair is designed to connect the academic study of the UN system with the strong civil society in The Hague, especially the existing UN agencies and the wider public. It will act as an umbrella to connect these different dimensions and acts as a focal point for activities relating to the UN and associated ideas of global governance in the area of peace and justice. The Chair provides a unique opportunity to bring together a diverse set of actors relating to the UN and its activities in order to improve public visibility of and engagement with the organization. It is doing so through the execution of the research projects below and the creation of a UN Studies Research Group which has connected expertise at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) with Leiden University. 2 Research Themes Global Governance There are three priority research areas for the Chair: In 2019, the first steps were taken for the integration of our research group into the Centre of Expertise on Global Governance. Together with the research groups Multilevel Regulation (Barbara Warwas) and Changing Role of Europe (Mendeltje van Keulen) we drafted a first 1. ‘Challenging the Liberal World Order from joint annual plan centered around the theme of ‘New Within, The Invisible History of the United Actors, New Solutions’.

  • Historians in Recent Years Have Increasingly Rebelled Against The
    WORK IN PROGRESS. DO NOT CITE OR ATTRIBUTE WITHOUT PERMISSION International Society as a Historical Subject Erez Manela, Harvard University For quite some time now, historians have been venturing well beyond the spatial and methodological enclosures of nation-states that had long defined the modern discipline, writing more history that is variously described as international, transnational, transregional, global, or world history.1 In a certain sense, the recent turn to histories that go beyond a single nation or region is actually a return. After all, the concern with history that transcends national enclosures goes back to the origins of the modern discipline, and Leopold von Ranke himself had written about the need to write a weltgeschichte that would go beyond national boundaries.2 Still, the historical profession, to an unusual extent among the disciplines that study human societies, has long been divided into geographically defined subfields structured around national or regional enclosures. There are compelling methodological reasons for this, not least the emphasis that historians place on the acquisition of language skills and other forms of knowledge specific to a single society or region. But structuring the discipline around national or regional 1 A recent examination of this trend is Kenneth Pomeranz, “Histories for a Less National Age,” American Historical Review 119, No. 1 (2014), 1-22. For earlier explorations of this theme see Akira Iriye, “The Internationalization of History,” American Historical Review 94, No. 1 (1988), 1-10; Ian Tyrrell, “American Exceptionalism in an Age of International History,” American Historical Review 96 (1991); David Thelen, “The Nation and Beyond: Transnational Perspectives on United States History,” Journal of American History 86 (1999); and Eric Foner, “American Freedom in a Global Age,” American Historical Review 106 (2001).

  • International Organizations and the Cold War University Of
    Call for Papers “Divided Together?” International Organizations and the Cold War University of Vienna, 3-4 June 2021 Workshop Organizers: Sandrine Kott (University of Geneva), Elisabeth Röhrlich and Eva-Maria Muschik (University of Vienna) Since the beginning of the 21st century, both Cold War studies and histories of internationalism have seen a tremendous renewal. It is now widely acknowledged that the Cold War cannot be reduced to a mere confrontation between the two superpowers and the ideologies that they have promoted. Small and mid-sized European powers, and neutral as well as recently decolonized countries pursued specific goals that escaped Cold War oppositions. Various actors worldwide promoted exchanges between the two blocs and offered challenging and rich alternatives to the ideological dichotomy between state socialism and liberal capitalism. Internationalism, moreover, reached its peak as both an ideological value and a political practice in the decades that followed the Second World War. For these reasons, we believe that international organizations, both inter- and non- governmental, are exceptionally fruitful starting points for rethinking Cold War history. How did international organizations affect the evolution and nature of the superpower confrontation and vice versa? At a time in which the importance and usefulness of multilateralism and international regulations are strongly called into question, this conference aims to understand the role that IOs have played as sites of superpower confrontation, but also highlight their role as spaces for mediation and negotiation, from which new paradigms have emerged and spread internationally. The United Nations, as the most important international organization, provides a good example. The UN is a complicated and ambiguous organization.

  • Imagining Internationalism
    Imagining Internationalism GLENDA SLUGA * Historians have had a difficult time in the last century imagining an international history, because of a long history of dependence on national histories for chronological frameworks and content. The nexus between the development of history as a modern discipline and the modern project of nation-building is now well known, and widely explored. The irony is of course that international history, albeit as the history of relations between states, and of diplomacy, is as much a part of the genealogy of the historical profession and its practices. In its old forms as the study of foreign policies and empires, it crossed the borders back and forth between the study of race and the agency of nations. In its new forms (and this new international history is still being defined), it tends to excavate the pasts of race and nation as ideas usually from the perspective of constructivism and of the recently reinvented vogue for transnational and global studies.! Increasingly, it is also paying attention to the history of internationalism, a field that has for a long time been left to the margins of pacifism studies. The history of internationalism has been, almost inevitably, entangled in the changing status and forms of international history. In the last few years, because of this new interest in the transnational and global, it has become easier to seek out the significance both of the international as a political space, and of internationalism as an ideology that overlapped with, even as it ran counter to, the history of nations and nationalism.

  • Communicating the Congress's Values."
    "Communicating the Congress's Values." DRAFT PAPER. Women, Men, and the Making of Modern International Politics Glenda Sluga, University of SYdney 1. The Congress of Vienna, which ran from September 1814 to June 1815 and was to settle the terms of a post-Napoleonic world order, lies at the heart of an historical narrative of the modern transformation of European politics, setting new thresholds of international political cooperation and coordination in the interests of peace, and identified as the 'Concert of Europe'. When we reflect on the Congress 'values' its place in the birth of the modern world seems confirmed, particularly if we take as our guide Paul W. Schroeder's magisterial study The Transformation of European Politics which has rendered the conferencing—and collective experiences of struggle against Napoleon—that preceded and included the Congress of Vienna, over the period 1813-1815, ‘the decisive turning point’ in the transformation of ‘the governing rules, norms, and practices of international politics’, ‘above all in the field of ideas, collective mentalities, and outlooks’, competing even with the French Revolution for political significance. In my talk yesterday, I argued that the protagonists of the peacemaking Congresses were as apt as Woodrow Wilson a century later to frame the cause and challenges of the Congress in the language of 'general principles' and sovereign rights. The modernity of the congress was constituted by the coincidental emphasis placed in its debates, and outcomes, on an international or more usually European politics, and the 'public law' of state legitimacy; on the promise of a structured science of government, and the ambiguously public/private practices of political congressing, often represented as characteristic of the cosmopolitan values and practices of the ancien regime.
