Examines the impact of international nongovernmental organization (INGO) conferences & discourse on the shift from the 19th-century view of population growth as essential for national strength, to the postwar position that population control is crucial for economic development. The changing content, increasing density, & global diffusion of population-control discourse/activity are traced, arguing that INGOs not only promoted the conceptual shift, but were instrumental in the establishment of state population-control policies. Emergence of a connection between national well-being & population control is examined in light of previous failures to establish such a link, suggesting that changes in discourse coincided with changes in the global institutional environment. While pronatalism (promoting population growth for national power) was dominant during the imperialistic, pre-WWI period, eugenics (encouraging population management for national purity) burgeoned during the nationalist interwar period. Neo-Malthusianism, linking population control with national/individual enhancement, has dominated in the recent nation-state period. It is concluded that, while the world polity influences population density, population-control global discourse creates a policy model for states. 3 Tables, 3 Figures. J. Lindroth
