Since the early twentieth century, European ethnology (including folklore), with its predilection for regional or national studies and its focus on describing and charting popular culture, has striven hard to become a comparative, academic discipline. In order to overcome the problems associated with diversity of methods and rather weak theoretical foundations, as well as the isolation caused by geographical and political borders, international co-operation has been regarded as important. An early initiative, and perhaps the most permanent result of this internationalist striving, was La Commission Internationale des Arts Populaires (ClAP, 1928–64), the forerunner of La Société Internationale d'Ethnologie et de Folklore (SIEF, 1964—present). The pre-war CIAP largely owed its existence to the League of Nations, through its Geneva-based sub-organisation CICI (La Commission Internationale de Coopération Intellectuelle), an organisation responsible for international co-operation within the field of art, museums and culture, just as post-war CIAP, as well as SIEF in its early phase, were under the auspices of the United Nations, through the UNESCO umbrella
