Indeed, 9 of the last 13 winners of the best‐first‐book prize of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations focused on US relations with the world beyond Europe. 3. Iriye, Global Community. 4. Baltzell, Protestant Establishment. 5. Connelly cites, to chilling effect, the writings of William Vogt, who termed tropical diseases ‘positive “advantages,” because they “prevented the development of overgrazing and overpopulation.”’ Vogt served as head of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in the early 1950s (pp. 129–30). 6. The final phrase refers to Sanjay Gandhi, apparently, once slapping his mother in public. 7. For examples of how historians have treated scholarly networks’ impact on intellectual life, see Crowther‐Heyck, ‘Patrons of the Revolution,’ 420–46; Krige, American Hegemony; Engerman, Know Your Enemy, chaps 1–3; Gilman, Mandarins of the Future, esp. chap. 4. 8. Engerman, ‘American Knowledge.’ Cohen‐Cole, ‘Thinking about Thinking in Cold War America.’ 9. Connelly, ‘Seeing Beyond the State,’ 197–233. Some of India's most drastic population control activities were closely connected with its ‘Emergency Period’ (1975–1977), when Indira Gandhi curtailed many aspects of democratic rule. 10. The citations here are too numerous to mention, but start with Wehler, Bismarck und der Imperialismus; Eley, ‘Defining Social Imperialism,’ 265–90. From a very different perspective, see May, Imperial Democracy. 11. See, for instance, Barnett and Finnemore, Rules for the World. 12. For examples of the struggle for critical distance, see Iriye, Global Community; Staples, Birth of Development; Maul, Menschenrechte, Sozialpolitik und Dekolonisation; and some of the volumes of the United Nations history – for instance, U.N. Contributions. 13. Cullather, ‘Miracles of Modernization,’ 227–54; Cullather, ‘Parable of Seeds.’ Perkins, Geopolitics and the Green Revolution. 14. Rosen, Western Economists; Sackley, ‘Passage to Modernity.’ 15. See Berman, Ideology of Philanthropy. 16. For more detail, see Engerman, ‘West Meets East.’ 17. The phrase is a quotation from Lord Kelvin. 18. See, for instance, Cullather, ‘Foreign Policy,’ 337–64; for other examples, see Engerman, ‘American Knowledge,’ 599–622. 19. Scott, Seeing Like a State, chap. 2; Anderson, Imagined Communities, chap. 10. Rafael, ‘White Love.’ Hirsch, Empire of Nations, chap. 3. 20. Quoted from a defender of population control – Kristof, ‘Birth Control for Others.’ See also the discussion in Helen Epstein, ‘The Strange History of Birth Control.’
