  • Power and Connection: Imperial Histories of the United States in the World
    Review Essay Power and Connection: Imperial Histories of the United States in the World PAUL A. KRAMER WHEN U.S. HISTORIANS BEGIN TO TALK about empire, it usually registers the declining fortunes of others. The term’s use among historians in reference to the United States has crested during controversial wars, invasions, and occupations, and ebbed when projections of American power have receded from public view. This periodicity—this tethering of empire as a category of analysis to the vagaries of U.S. power and its exercise—is one of the striking aspects of empire’s strange historiographic career. When it comes to U.S. imperial history, one might say, the owl of Minerva flies primarily when it is blasted from its perch.1 Yet despite recurring claims to the contrary, the imperial has long been a useful concept in work that attempts to situate the United States in global history, and it continues to be so, as demonstrated by a wealth of emerging scholarship. To be sure, its use has varied from the superficial and invocatory to the substantive and ana- lytical. In the latter category, two broad clusters of research stand out. First was the “New Left” school of U.S. foreign relations history, which dramatically critiqued inherited interpretations, identifying the United States’ role in the world as imperial, and defined primarily by the global pursuit of export markets. A second, later body of work on the “cultures of United States imperialism,” based in American studies and literary criticism, treated imperial meaning-making, particularly with respect to the politics of racialized and gendered difference.

H. Hayes, to the late Professor Parker Thomas Moon, under whose direction the work was begun, and to Professor Walter Consuelo Langsam, under whom the work was completed. In addi­ tion, the writer desires to thank also the various members of the Czechoslovak Consulates-General at New York and Chicago~ and of the Legation at Washington, D. C., who, periodically for over a decade, have generously placed at his disposal materials not readily accessible to the general reader. Similar appreciation is felt for many favors received from the Svornost (Chicago) and from the Congressional Library, the library of Columbia University, and those of the Uni­ versities of Chicago, Iowa, and North Dakota.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Europe, 1911–1940 Jens Wegener Thesis submitted for assessment with a view to obtaining the degree of Doctor of History and Civilization of the European University Institute Examining Board Professor Kiran Klaus Patel, Maastricht University (external supervisor) Professor Federico Romero, European University Institute (second reader) Professor Sven Beckert, Harvard University Professor Gary Gerstle, University of Cambridge © Jens Wegener, 2015 No part of this thesis may be copied, reproduced or transmitted without prior permission of the author Abstract How do non-governmental actors exert power beyond the confines of nation-states? Examining the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) and its network of European foreign policy elites, I argue that non-governmental actors developed transnational political agendas in part to counter the democratizing and social shifts of the early twentieth century. Throughout the interwar period the CEIP emerged as a key participant in cultural internationalism by providing financial and logistical aid for transnational outreach. Well connected to social elites in several countries, the CEIP’s emergence illustrates how internationalism was inexorably structured by economic, social and cultural capital. As formerly marginalized social groups—e.g. women, organized labor and ethnic minorities—became more integrated into national decision-making processes, traditional elites began to erect new barriers around transnational spaces to preserve existing power structures.
