Joseph Maiolo and Laura Robson examine the League of Nations through its efforts to order people, wealth, and war. Their history follows the organization’s work on borders, minorities, refugees, labour, economic administration, and military security, placing those activities within the international power relations of the interwar years.
The authors develop an interpretation of the League as an institution that helped preserve the position of leading Western powers through systems of economic and military control. The book connects humanitarian administration and financial arrangements with questions of sovereignty and coercion, offering a concise institutional history of an organization whose ambitions extended far beyond diplomatic debate.
