SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This study opens a new portal into the history of globalisation by examining several large-scale projects that, at the beginning of the twentieth century, shared a grand yet unachievable goal: bringing order to the world. Drawing from a broad array of archival materials, the book reveals how expanding commercial relations, growing international scientific agreements, and an imperial monopolisation of the political realm spawned ambitious global projects.
