An international air force was to enforce collective security and internationalized civil aviation was to bind the world together through trade and communication. The bomber and the atomic bomb, now associated with death and devastation, were to be instruments of world peace. Drawing on rich archival research and focusing on public and private discourse relating to the control of aviation and atomic energy, Waqar H. Zaidi highlights neglected technological and militaristic strands in twentieth-century liberal internationalism, and transforms our understanding of the place of science and technology in twentieth-century international relations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Technology and international relations $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Technological innovations $x International cooperation. 650 0 $a Aeronautics $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nuclear energy $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Security, International $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Peace $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Internationalism $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Aeronautics and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798411 650 7 $a International organization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977038 650 7 $a Nuclear arms control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01039881 650 7 $a Peacekeeping forces. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055909 650 7 $a Technological innovations $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145043 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Zaidi, Waqar H., 1975- $t Technological internationalism and world order $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108872416 $w (DLC) 2021024943 830 0 $a Science in history (Cambridge University Press) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015205.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11A0E734177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
