This is the first comprehensive history of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the central humanitarian assistance organization of American Quakers during the first half of the 20th century. It describes the creation of a "humanitarian marketplace," the development of humanitarian techniques in relation to the media, donors, and recipients, as well as the complex relationship between religious and secular elements.

This is the first comprehensive account of the International Labour Organization's (100 year-long) history. The Centenary publication shows the ILO as a forum and an actor in the area of Global Social Policy. It opens a perspective on the manifold ways the ILO over a hundred years sought to structure debates on social policy across national borders and render practical contributions for the world of work and the area of social policy at large.

This series of scholarly works aims to document and understand the work of the International Labour Organization since its creation by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Gathering together the research of an international network of academics from history, law, economics and sociology, the series looks critically at the role of the ILO at key moments of the twentieth century, and draws attention to the historical dimension of some today's global issues and challenges. By bringing a transnational perspective to the discussion, the publications aim to offer an in-depth understanding of the complex interaction between national and international policies.

Vor rund 100  Jahren, im Juni 1919, wurde in Paris die Internationale Arbeitsorganisation (ILO) gegründet. Ausgehend von einem recht engen europäischen und hauptsächlich industriellen Schwerpunkt kann die Geschichte der ILO im doppelten Sinn als eine Geschichte der ständigen Expansion gelesen werden: Sowohl was ihre Mitgliedstaaten betrifft, als auch mit Blick auf die Formen der Arbeit und die Gruppen von arbeitenden Menschen, die in der ILO vertreten sind, ist die Organisation globaler geworden. Gleichzeitig diente die ILO als Prisma der Konflikte und Spannungen, die die Arbeitswelt im Laufe des vergangenen Jahrhunderts geprägt haben. Wie der Beitrag zeigt, bietet die Geschichte der ILO zahlreiche Ansatzpunkte, um über möglichen Grundlagen und Grenzen der Solidarität zwischen Staaten, Gesellschaften, sozialen Gruppen und Einzelpersonen auf globaler Ebene zu reflektieren. Die ILO wird dabei als Resonanzboden für Ideen transnationaler Solidarität, aber auch als Aktionsfeld für deren praktische Umsetzung untersucht.
