Revisiting the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO): International Histories of Agriculture, Nutrition,and Development
As far as international organizations and their written histories are concerned, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, presents quite a paradox. Though in its early years, the organization itself as well as individual staff members were determined to document and narrate FAO's history, sixty years later many aspects of FAO's history remain largely unknown. The following articles re-examine the history of FAO through a range o…
FAO from the Field and from Below: Emma Reh and the Challenges of Doing Nutrition Work in Central America
While much of the historical literature on FAO has adopted a headquarter perspective, this article examines FAO's nutrition activities in Central America from the vantage point of a field worker stationed in the region during the 1950s. Emma Reh's professional background broadens our understanding of the careers of staff members in international organizations and makes visible the connections between the US Indian Bureau and development work.

Wissenstransfer, Experten und ihre Handlungsspielräume am Instituto de Nutrición de Centro América y Panamá (Incap), 1961-1982
In the history of development there has been a tendency to attribute developmental initiatives to coordinating centres in the global north and view countries in the south as recipients, a phenomenon that continues to the present day. The Central American Nutrition Institute (INCAP) is by contrast an example of a regional institution that not only generated a considerable body of knowledge concerning the nutritional state of the region and policy …

Twists, Turns and Dead Alleys: The League of Nations and Intellectual Cooperation in Times of War
Twists, Turns and Dead Alleys: The League of Nations and Intellectual Cooperation in Times of War In recent years, historians of international organisations have asserted a strong continuity between pre- and post-war organisations. This article examines the wartime transitions in the field of intellectual cooperation and traces the fate of the League's International Commission on Intellectual Cooperation (CICI) and its executive arm, the Internat…
The Securitisation of Food Security in Colombia, 1970-2010
After the world food crisis of the early 1970s, food policies became a 'national priority' for Colombian development. Colombia was the first country to implement the multi-sectoral approach proposed by international organisations. However, in the past 30 years Colombian governments have presented nutrition as a minor health issue. During the recent world food crisis, the government insisted that Colombia was one of the most food-secure countries …

Im langen Schatten des Nationalsozialismus: Faschistische Bewegungen in Chile zwischen der Weltwirtschaftskrise und dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs
Safely removed in time from the military dictatorships that dominated many Latin American countries in the 1970s and 1980s, historians have taken up the study of right-wing movements with vigor. Recently, authors such as Sandra McGee Deutsch, Margaret Power, and Brian Loveman have contributed novel analyses of various aspects of the Chilean Right. In Im langen Schatten des Nationalsozialismus, Marcus Klein aims to provide a comprehensive overview…

Here, Barbara Potthast offers the first German-language survey of the history of women in Latin America. This ambitious endeavor covers the whole region, from the conquest through the end of the twentieth century. The author presents the normative roles for women and men and discusses how social reality differed from these according to region and social class, ably interweaving background information, legal frameworks, and relevant economic trend…
Chilean Feminists, the International Women's Movement, and Suffrage, 1915-1950
izens of their country and the world. This episode illustrates continuity as well as change in Chilean women's dealings with international organizations. On the one hand, Labarca's nomination represented the culmination of decades-long involvement in the international arena. Given Chile's geographical isolation, Chilean feminists were remarkably active in international women's affairs, especially in
