A World of Populations
Demographic study and the idea of a “population” was developed and modified over the course of the twentieth century, mirroring the political, social, and cultural situations and aspirations of different societies. This growing field adapted itself to specific policy concerns and was therefore never apolitical, despite the protestations of practitioners that demography was “natural.” Demographics were transformed into public policies that shaped …

Export und Entwicklung
In the eyes of many Western entrepreneurs, the newly independent nations in Asia and Africa presented promising export markets for industrial and consumer goods, and they demonstrated an active interest in ‘developing’ those largely ‘untapped’ markets. Their entrepreneurial goals overlapped with the new nations’ effort to industrialize as quickly as possible. To achieve industrialization, many of them relied on the transfer of technologies and kn…

Instead of considering the foundations as handmaidens of US national strate…

Environmental change accelerated sharply during the Cold War years, and so did environmentalism as both a popular movement and a scientific preoccupation. Most Cold War history entirely overlooks this rise of environmentalism and th…
