The Reluctant Internationalists

The Reluctant Internationalists A History of Public Health and International Organisations, Movements and Experts in Twentieth Century Europe

The Reluctant Internationalists is a four-year project funded by a Wellcome Trust Investigator Award and led by Dr Jessica Reinisch. The core research team comprises Ana Antic, Dora Vargha and Johanna Conterio-Geisler (postdoctoral researchers), and David Bryan (PhD student). Together we investigate the international ambitions of doctors, medical researchers, relief workers, public health teams, psychiatrists, politicians, generals, diplomats and civil servants in twentieth century Europe. Concerns about public health crises (real or imagined) were primary catalysts for international solutions, structures and mechanisms, which spurred or forced policy-makers at local and national levels into international action, often reluctantly. Our case studies examine the origins of such policies, consequences and lasting legacies.
