the Alps. A wide range of characters populate its pages, from Heidi and the protagonists of novels and films set on the mountains, to Woodrow Wilson and other high-level political figures active both inside and outside of the League of Nations, to the alpinists and climbers engaged in hikes and international
congresses, to the many children involved in camping trips, to the countless patients of the sanatoria for the treatment of tuberculosis which for decades used to dot alpine villages and to excite the popular imagination.
At the centre of the volume are people's emotions-real and imagined-from the resentment left after the First World War to the 'friendship' evoked in speeches and concretely implemented in a number of alpine settings for a variety of purposes, to the 'joy' that contemporaries saw as the key to navigating the complexities of 'modernity' and to avoiding another war. The result is a compelling overview of the institutions and people involved in international cooperation in the 1920s and 1930s,
understood through the lens of the history of emotions.

«...The Emotions of Internationalism remains a remarkable book, which opens a much-needed new window on the history of internationalism. It will be an eye-opener for historians of science too.»
Geert Somsen, Maastricht University, Isis
«[Scaglia] clearly demonstrates that certain emotions were linked by people and organisations with the internationalist enterprise, especially the emotions felt while experiencing the unique atmosphere of the mountains. This book encourages historians of different geographical spaces to approach the study of internationalism in this period in an interesting new way, to uncover the 'real' emotions felt by historical actors and to debate how these were used to forge co-operation between different nationalities.»
