This honors seminar will analyze experiments and schemes for organizing the world, ranging from realized projects like the League of Nations and the World Health Organization to unrealized projects like the European Defense Community. We will discuss internationalism and transnationalism in a variety of forms, including Third Worldist solidarity and cultural projects like Eurovision.
