Description
Book SynopsisGlenda Sluga traces internationalism through its rise before World War I, its mid-century apogee, and its decline after 9/11. Drawing on archival material and contemporary accounts, this innovative history restores internationalism as essential to understanding nationalism in the twentieth century.
Trade Review"Sluga's definition of internationalism allows her to highlight the scope of the phenomenon: a vast and diverse array of people and groups strove to make the world a better place. . . . She has written a stimulating [book] that prods its readers to think hard." *
American Historical Review *
"Lively, accessible, and imaginative. Sluga enters the worlds of leading twentieth-century policy-makers, thinkers, and activists in ways that are bound to grip readers interested in the history of the modern world and in debates about the global community of the future." * Patricia Clavin, Oxford University *
"
Internationalism in the Age of Nationalism is a well-written, wide-ranging, and thoughtful work on an important topic by a distinguished scholar. Sluga presents an original argument about the evolution of internationalism by focusing on its dynamic relationship with nationalism and the concept of national sovereignty. She has put together a rich tapestry that recaptures the breadth and richness of internationalist discourse." * Peter Jackson, University of Strathclyde *
