This precedent-setting international organization created important institutions and initiatives in labor, economics, culture, science, and more, from the International Labor Organization to initiatives targeting education, taxation, nutrition, and other issues. Otherwise marginalized in global diplomacy, Latin Americans were involved, and often acted as leaders, in many League-related activities and made a number of positive contributions to the League. In this book foremost scholars from Europe and the Americas consider Latin American leadership and experiences in the League of Nations. Using research in frequently overlooked collections, Beyond Geopolitics makes groundbreaking contributions to the study of Latin American international relations, the history of the League of Nations, and the broader story of cooperation across borders"--Provided by publisher.Political leadershipLatin AmericaHistory20th centuryWorld politics1900-1945International relationsHistory20th centuryLatin AmericaForeign relations20th centuryPolitical leadershipHistoryWorld politicsInternational relationsHistory980.03HIS024000POL011000bisacshMcPherson Alan L.Wehrli Yannick1977-Bizzo Maria Leticia GalluzziMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822739403321Beyond geopolitics4126578UNINA
