The Past and Present of International Labour Organization

From: Marcel van der Linden,

Call for Papers

The International Institute of Social History (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and AMSAB - Institute for Social History (Ghent, Belgium) are jointly preparing a conference on the past and present of the International Labor Organization. If possible, the conference papers should lay the foundation for a collection of essays to be published later.

Internationale Sozialistische Kampf-Bund

Heiner Lindner: "Um etwas zu erreichen, muss man sich etwas vornehmen, von dem man glaubt, dass es unmöglich sei". Der Internationale Sozialistische Kampf-Bund (ISK) und seine Publikationen (In order to achieve something, one must undertake what one thinks to be impossible. The Militant Socialist International and its Publications) Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, History Discussion Group, No. 64, ed. by Dieter Dowe, 270 pages, 15 illustrations, Bonn 2006.

The Amsterdam International

This book charts the turbulent history of the International Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) from its foundation in 1913, to its dissolution in 1945. Established to protect and advance the interests of workers of all countries and to further international solidarity, the IFTU from the outset was beset by difficulties. Within a year the First World War split the fledgling organisation, underlining national interests and creating resentment between some of the most powerful union interests.
