Abstract "The post-World War II period is typically seen as a time of stark division, an epochal global conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. But beneath the surface, the postwar era witnessed a striking degree of international cooperation. Through international organizations, actors from conflicting worlds were brought together. Internationalists in these organizations viewed a more equal world as a condition for a lasting peace. Diving into the archives of these organizations and associations, Sandrine Kott provides a new account of the Cold War that foregrounds the rise of internationalism as both an ideology and a practice."--Page 4 of cover.
