Unpaid Debts
Unpaid Debts" provides a novel account of the New International Economic Order (NIEO), from the economic crises of the 1970s to the lost development decade of the 1980s. It shows that it was not just the Thatchers, the Reagans, and the neoliberal economists that sank the NIEO; its failure also resulted from the limits of socialist internationalism. This article tracks how Jamaican activists-working with key individuals across the Caribbean, Afric…
A World More Equal: An Internationalist Perspective on the Cold War
Boundaries of Belonging: The Welfare State in the Wake of Decolonisation
Over the course of the 1970s, Europe reckoned with the after-effects of decolonisation – a transformative process in world history that not only led to the movement of millions of people from the former colonies, but also threw into question European economic and cultural hegemony. The three articles in this forum investigate different ways Europe remade itself in response to the unmaking of European imperialism. All three demonstrate that Europe…
How to Do Things with Words: Antifascism as a Differentially Mobilizing Ideology, from the Popular Front to the Black Power Movement
This article argues that two distinctive varieties of antifascism took shape in the 1930s and endured through the late 1970s. These two varieties-Popular Front antifascism and anti-imperial antifascism-were in dialogue but in opposition to one another, and both were transnational mobilizing ideologies. Investigating these two antifascist movements allows us to place Europe in the wider world and demonstrate how anti-imperial activists of color si…
S ara L orenzini . Global Development: A Cold War History
The 1980s are often cast as a lost decade in the history of development, as years of crisis and inertia. But as Sara Lorenzini shows in her deeply researched and insightful new work, Global Development: A Cold War History, the development project was in crisis long before the decade began. Through a sweeping tour that takes the reader from Deng Xiaoping’s China to Tanzanian railroad construction projects, from the obscure statistical office of th…
Transnationalising the Spanish Civil War
While it was underway, the brutal and chaotic Spanish Civil War was already being cast in contradictory ways by its leading participants. It was represented as an opportunity to lament injustice and the travesty of democracy, marshalled as positive proof that the European continent was in fact under the live threat of communist revolution, cast as a story of brutal anti-clericalism gone rampant and narrated as the battle between close-minded trad…
The Vatican and Mussolini’s Italy, written by Lucia Ceci
Naming the Enemy: Anti-communism in Transnational Perspective
In this introduction to the special issue on transnational anti-communism, Marla Stone and Giuliana Chamedes present the contours of a comparative approach to the study of anti-communism, raising issues of its origins and impact, and calling for attention to anti-communism as a discrete ideology with a defined set of beliefs and practices. The special issue of six articles, edited by Stone and Chamedes, focuses on anti-communism in the interwar p…
The Vatican, Nazi-Fascism, and the Making of Transnational Anti-communism in the 1930s
Given the recent scholarly interest in the history of anti-communism, it is surprising that relatively little has been written on the ambitious transnational anti-communist campaign launched by the Vatican in the early 1930s. Drawing on new archival material, this article explores how the Vatican founded an organization known as the Secretariat on Atheism, which disseminated a form of anti-communism grounded in Catholic teachings. The Secretariat…
The Catholic Origins of Economic Development after World War II
The conceptual history of 'economic development' is often told as a US-centered story. The United States, according to the standard account, turned to economic development as a tool in its struggle for global dominance during the Cold War. In line with recent research, this article demonstrates that the post-World War II boom in economic development had European origins as well, and that it originated as a joint response to the Cold War and to th…
Decolonization and Religion in the French Empire
Scholarly attention to decolonization in the French Empire and beyond has largely focused on the political transitions from colonies to nation-states. This introduction, and the essays in this special issue, present new ways of looking at decolonization by examining how religious communities and institutions imagined and experienced the end of French Empire. This approach adds valuable perspectives obscured by historiographical emphasis on French…
The Vatican and the Reshaping of the European International Order After the First World War
The Vatican is often cast as a marginal player in the reshaping of the European international order after the First World War. Drawing on new archival material, this article argues for a reassessment of the content and consequences of papal diplomacy. It focuses on the years between 1917 and 1929, during which time the Vatican used the tools of international law and state-to-state diplomacy to expand its power in both eastern and western Europe. …
