Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 20th century dam-building became a truly global endeavour. Built around the world, they generated networks of actors, institutions and companies embedded in globally circulating technological knowledge and discourses of modernization and development. This volume takes a global approach to the history of dams, exploring the complex power relations and internationalist entanglements that shaped them. Shedding new light on the globalization of technology and international power struggles that defined the 20th century, Dam Internationalism shows that dams are artefacts in their own right and have created new and revisionist histories that urge us to rethink classic narratives. From international cooperation, to the importance of the Cold War and the capitalist/socialist divide, the success of western technology, the prominence of the United States, the alleged impotence of people affected by dams, and the uniformity of infrastructure. Each chapter showcases a different case study from Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America to show that dams enabled marginalized countries and actors to articulate themselves and pursue their own political and socio-economic goals in a century dominated by the Global North.

This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection takes a case study approach to enter into and explore spaces of 'Second-Third World' interaction during the Cold War. From the dining halls of a university, to hospital wards, construction sites, military barracks, pubs and more, the chapters drop the scale down from the global to the particular to better see, understand and interpret the complex nature of these spaces. These ordinary spaces are examined to understand how they were conceived, constructed, shaped and reshaped by people over time. Many are physical places of encounter, while others are more abstract, embodying ideological goals. In exploring these spaces the contributors show how the Second and Third World actors understood them and connected them to ideas such as gender and space, the space of the nation, of the modern and of the self. Essentially, it seeks to unravel how these spaces between Second and Third Worlds worked, and what, if anything, was distinctive and consequential about them. Second-Third World Spaces in the Cold War explores the ways in which these Second and Third World actors collaborated and clashed in these everyday spaces, and brings these multi-faceted, multi-actor histories to a vital centre ground.

Book excerpt: In 1912, Dexter P. Cooper, a dam designer and builder, when looking at a map of the place where he and his new wife would honeymoon, had an astounding epiphany. The mainland of New Brunswick, Canada, could be linked with several islands and the Maine mainland - via a series of dams. If this could be done, and if the twenty-six-foot high tides of Passamaquoddy Bay could be harnessed - the tides could be used to produce a MILLION MEGAWATTS of power each day! Dexter's dam would become one of the seven wonders of the world! In 1925, Dexter Cooper and his family moved to Campobello Island at the mouth of Passamaquoddy Bay on the US/Canada border - intent on building their massive damworks. Had this project succeeded, the greater Eastport, Maine, area, including Washington and Charlotte Counties, would have been tremendously different than they are today. Eastport, the epicenter of Dexter's dam plan would have become a major shipping port on the East Coast of the United States. A true gem on the Eastern Seaboard. Dexter, and his wife, Gertie, tried for almost five years to obtain the regulatory approvals needed to build this dam - and were set to overcome the last hurdle when something extraordinary happened. One government body rejected their bid. And that rejection killed Dexter's dream dam - at least in the near term.What were the politics on both the Canadian and United States sides of the border leading to the failure to build the International Dam? How did the people of the time react to the potential destruction of the bay's habitat and the loss of their nature-dependent jobs? And what's going to happen to the bay now that climate change is creeping its way up the Maine coast? These are but a few of the questions considered in this book. Book 1 of this series, The Dam Builders, is the prelude to Dexter's attempts to build his tidal power dams along Passamaquoddy Bay on the US/Canadian border. It describes who Dexter Cooper was - and what life was like for the dam engineer in the 1910s and 20s. This book, Book 2, The International Dam examines Dexter's first attempt to build his dream dam - his International Dam. Book 3, The All-American Dam, describes Dexter's next attempt to build his dream dam. And Book 4, The Quoddy Dams tells the final chapter in the story of the Passamaquoddy Bay Tidal Project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring how modern internationalism emerged as a negotiated process through international conferences, this edited collection studies the spaces and networks through which states, civil society institutions and anti-colonial political networks used these events to realise their visions of the international. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, contributors explore the spatial paradox of two fundamental features of modern internationalism. First, internationalism demanded the overcoming of space, transcending the nation-state in search of the shared interests of humankind. Second, internationalism was geographically contingent on the places in which people came together to conceive and enact their internationalist ideas. From Paris 1919 to Bandung 1955 and beyond, this book explores international conferences as the sites in which different forms of internationalism assumed material and social form. While international 'permanent institutions' such as the League of Nations, UN and Institute of Pacific Relations constantly negotiated national and imperial politics, lesser-resourced political networks also used international conferences to forward their more radical demands. Taken together these conferences radically expand our conception of where and how modern internationalism emerged, and make the case for focusing on internationalism in a contemporary moment when its merits are being called into question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representing a crucial intervention in the history of internationalism, transnationalism and global history, this edited collection examines a variety of international movements, organisations and projects developed in Europe or by Europeans over the course of the 20th century. Reacting against the old Eurocentricism, much of the scholarship in the field has refocussed attention on other parts of the globe. This volume attempts to rethink the role played by ideas, people and organisations originating or located in Europe, including some of their consequential global impact. The chapters cover aspects of internationalism such as the importance of language, communication and infrastructures of internationalism; ways of grappling with the history of internationalism as a lived experience; and the roles of European actors in the formulation of different and often competing models of internationalism. It demonstrates that the success and failure of international programmes were dependent on participants' ability to communicate across linguistic but also political, cultural and economic borders. By bringing together commonly disconnected strands of European history and 'history from below', this volume rebalances and significantly advances the field, and promotes a deeper understanding of internationalism in its many historical guises. The volume is conceived as a way of thinking about internationalism that is relevant not just to scholars of Europe, but to international and global history more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops the idea that since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system. Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS Europe, East Asia, EU Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world.
