The project "20th Century International Economic Thinking and the Complex History of Globalisation" (ECOINT) advances an innovative approach to the study of the struggles over economic ideas that have fashioned the paths of globalization. It shifts our focus from international economic thought as an unanchored field of ideas, to ‘international economic thinking’, generated in and through institutional sites distinctive to the 20th century: intergovernmental organisations and associated international non-governmental organisations. It asks: Where do we find international globalization thinking? Who were international economic thinkers? How did they shape the course of globalization? What does it mean that many of them were women? What does this history tell us about the paths taken or missed by globalization?
