On the concept of civil society, see J ü rgen Kocka, “Zivilgesellschaft als historisches Problem und Versprechen,” in Europ ä ische Zivilgesellschaft in Ost und West: Begriff, Geschichte, Chancen , ed. Manfred Hildermeier, Jü rgen Kocka, and Christoph Conrad (Frankfurt/Main: Campus, 2000), 13–39. For the history of international organizations more generally, see Akira Iriye, Global Community: The Role of International Organizations in the Making of the Contemporary World (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2002). 3 . On US historians’ interest in transnational historiography, see especially Thomas Bender’s groundbreaking study Rethinking American History in a Global Age (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2002); and Mary Nolan, The Transatlantic Century: Europe and America, 1890–2010 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012). The impact of growing international interest in the historical study of transna- tional “flows, ties, and appropriations” can be seen in Akira Iriye and Pierre-Yves Saunier, The Palgrave Dictionary of Transnational History: From the Mid-19th Century to the Present Day (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2009). An extensive literature exists on the debate over the benefits and limitations of transnational historiog- raphy in Germany. See, especially, Sebastian Conrad and J ü rgen Osterhammel, eds., Das Kaiserreich transnational: Deutschland in der Welt 1871–1914 (G ö ttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2006); Gunilla-Friederike Budde, Transnationale Geschichte: Themen, Tendenzen und Theorien (G ö ttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2006); Berthold Unfried, J ü rgen Mittag, and Marcel van der Linden, eds., Transnationale Netzwerke im 20: Jahrhundert historische Erkundungen zu Ideen und Praktiken, Individuen und Organisationen (Leipzig: Akademische Verlags-Anstalt, 2008).
