Daniel Gorman is Associate Professor of History and Political Science at the University of Waterloo and the Balsillie School of International Affairs. He is the author of Imperial Citizenship: Empire and the Question of Belonging (2007). He has contributed essays on aspects of the history of globalization to several books: Mobilities, Knowledge and Social Justice (2012), edited by Suzan Ilcan; Property, Territory, Globalization: Struggles over Autonomy (2011), edited by William Coleman; and Empires and Autonomy: Moments in the History of Globalization (2010), edited by Steven Streeter, John Weaver and William Coleman.

'Daniel Gorman's argument, that international society during the 1920s developed out of the interaction of imperialism and internationalism, is an arresting one. His stage is peopled with private citizens and public officials, nations and foundations, interest groups and interested individuals, all trying to remake the world into a safer place. Beginnings were made and seeds were sown, but there was not enough time. This important book details the philosophies, the aspirations, the successes, and the failures of his well-intentioned actors.' Kathleen Burk, University College London
