A Quest to be Global: The League of Nations Health Organization and Inter-Colonial Regional Governing Agendas of the Far Eastern Association of Tropical Medicine 1910-25
No full textThe League of Nations Health Organization (LNHO) (1921–46) was intended as a global organisation. This article examines the expansion of its operations into Asia in its initial period. The article draws attention to a regional governance attempt by the Far Eastern Association of Tropical Medicine (FEATM) (1910–38) in 1910–23 and examines the moment when the LNHO co-opted this attempt in its quest to become global, opening a space where the inter-colonialism of the FEATM became one significant layer of the internationalism of the LNHO. The article seeks to show the crucial role Japanese public-health experts played in this convergence and also suggests that region-specific issues, raised by experts in Asia, became constitutive elements in revising the International Sanitary Convention

Beyond Empires' Science: Inter-Imperial Pacific Science Networks in the 1920s
No full textThe examination of the Pan-Pacific Science Congress (PSC) contributes to making the history of international organizations more global. This chapter argues that in the region where independent nation states were few, the PSC expert network developed fora for inter-imperial cooperative schemes in the 1920s. Although the USA dominated, the PSC’s focus on the inside of the Pacific prompted continental European participation, and fora-participants were predominantly imperial/colonial experts. New powers, such as Australia and Japan, also reinforced this imperial nature. These inter-imperial schemes played a significant role in the making of regional governing mechanisms. Their efforts were framed under the banner of the “development” and “protection” of human and material resources, and the “welfare” of the people in the region. Their exploitive objective was clear, while these inter-imperial schemes also meant the making of a governing infrastructure for the region beyond the interests of specific empires.Copyright Information: Springer International Publishing Switzerlan
IR, history, and the Japanese empire : a spiral move from the 'edges' to the 'centres'
No full textPublished online: 06 February 2025The institutional and intellectual setting of the IR Department of the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific (CAP) was closely connected to the broader knowledge-making process which had begun in the inter-war period. There, various social scientific methodologies and framings were deployed to deepen the understanding of the region and regional affairs as a part of global affairs. As the disciplinary boundaries developed, these interactive dynamics were pushed to the edges of the respective disciplines. The more the views from these edges were to be incorporated into the ‘centres’ of the IR discipline, the more meaningful and inclusive its disciplinary knowledge would become. Not a simple back-to-the-origin of the CAP IR, which was inevitably laden with colonial, racial, and gender biases of the time, but a spiral progression to its origin may lead us to a ‘different IR’
