Forum Global Dis: Connections
with the idea of dis:connectivity to provide fresh perspective on current phenomena of globalization.Tom Menger (Munich) traces the origins of Europe's current energy crisis back to a fossil fuel shift that occurred in the early 20th century.He shows that the decline of coal as the principal carrier of fossil energy had a direct impact on Europe's position in an increasingly global network of energy distribution, and this led to the emergence of …
Strength through Diversity? The Paradox of Extraterritoriality and the History of the Odd Ones Out
This contribution argues that the right of access to extraterritorial jurisdiction shaped privilege-based communities across national borders. It discusses extraterritoriality as a legal framework that enabled and shaped the building of communities of foreigners from many different backgrounds. Extraterritoriality – counterintuitively – amalgamated and strengthened a community through that very diversity. This was precisely why that community of …

Being international in times of war: Arthur Sweetser and the shifting of the League of Nations to the United Nations
Transnational actors are increasingly surfacing when it comes to understanding the global dimensions of the modern nation-state. Thinking of the modern state from the diversity of its personnel and its many intersections with private and semi-private actors or institutions with a transnational reach, the new diplomatic history acknowledges the embeddedness of states in border-crossing agencies. What has been conceptualized as ‘network diplomacy’ …
International Organizations, 1865–1945
This chapter traces the development of international organizations (IOs) from 1865–1945. It begins with the take-off period of the 1860s, when IOs began to shape access to the world market and the formation of transnational movements. It then elaborates on the ideological framework IOs were based on. Developed in the nineteenth century, the contemporary concept of internationalism served as an umbrella term that enumerated and linked different tr…
Geneva, 1919–1945: The Spatialities of Public Internationalism and Global Networks
After World War I, the urban landscape of Geneva presented a unique laboratory of public internationalism. This article discusses the buildings of international organisations and the surrounding residences of those working in different functions for these organisations as a territorial expression of global networks in the 1930s. The urban imprints of global contacts help to understand how information transfer overstepped institutional limits and …

Nepalese History in a European Experience: A Case Study in Transcultural Historiography
In March 2013, a group of German, Nepalese, and Swiss historians, Indologists, and an architectural historian gathered for a workshop in Nepal to develop a new approach to the understanding of South Asian historiography, especially the Nepalese chronicles from the nineteenth century. The outcome is the present collaboratively written article. It is argued that, in the past, the analysis of South Asian historiography has been preoccupied by argume…
Gender and International Relations through the Lens of the League of Nations (1919–1945)
This chapter examines the impact of gender upon international relations in the contradictory setting established by the new order of the Paris Peace treaties. Supported by the League of Nations, the introduction of 'international relations' as an academic field of study provided access to new diplomacy via academic knowledge. It also discusses female access to newly established academic institutions. The participation of women in international re…

'Outwardly…an Innocuous Conference Authority': National Socialism and the Logistics of International Information Management
In January 1943, as German defeat at Stalingrad loomed, a review of resources and manpower was carried out in the various departments of the Reich Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda, with the purpose of stepping up the ministry's contribution to the war effort.The operation concentrated on the lower echelons of the ministry, among which were included the German Central Conference Of ce (Deutsche Kongress-Zentrale, DKZ), which had b…
Vom Wesen der langz?ngigen Schl?rfm?use: Das Schnabeltier und die Entwicklung der Informationsgesellschaft
In 1798, the skin of a platypus started to disturb the European scientific community. Even before researchers confirmed that the furry animal with a duck's bill was an egg‐laying mammal, the platypus was a challenge to contemporary taxonomies. Although a scientific interest in the platypus is self‐evident, the animal's appearance in encyclopaedias and dictionaries needs an explanation. The essay discusses the presence of the platypus in the encyc…
Hintertüren zur Macht: Internationalismus und modernisierungsorientierte Außenpolitik in Belgien, der Schweiz und den USA 1865-1914
Im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert fand eine Verdichtung grenzübergreifender, nichtstaatlicher Kontakte bisher unbekannten Ausmaßes statt. Die Staaten der westlichen Welt zelebrierten die entstehende Moderne mit der Gründung internationaler Organisationen und der Veranstaltung von Weltausstellungen, mit immer zahlreicheren Konferenzen und Kongressen. Am Beispiel dreier Staaten, die an der Peripherie des europäischen Großmächtesystems existierten, wir…
