This book questions this idea and argues that, even though the US was not a \u003cem\u003ede jure\u003c\/em\u003e member of the League of Nations, the financial, human, and intellectual investment of foundations brought about the \u003cem\u003ede facto\u003c\/em\u003e integration of the US within the League system and also modified the latter's architecture. The book describes the Americanization of the League and shows how it resulted from three strategies pursued throughout the interwar period: that of US foundations, that of the Secretariat, and that of the US federal government. The book also shows the limits of this Americanization and analyzes the role of the European experts in the coproduction of the postwar international order together with the US government.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to historians and political scientists, as well as undergraduate and graduate students in interdisciplinary programs of international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ludovic Tourn鑚\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367075296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367075293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Ludovic Tourn鑚","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070688456959,"sku":"9780367075293","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bbd5306-6cc3-4921-bbd0-4f2a7ad35aa8.jpg?v=1685431782","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philanthropic-foundations-at-the-league-ludovic-tourns-9780367075293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
