Description

"This well-researched book does justice finally to a forgotten pioneer of international cooperation. It explores Drummond’s legacy—an international civil service with integrity, intelligence, independence, and impartiality—which remains more aspiration than reality. Discover why that vision remains pertinent."—Thomas G. Weiss, City University of New York, USA
"Part biography, part institutional history, this is a fitting tribute to the spirit of internationalism on the eve of the League’s centenary. The ethos of an impartial yet committed international civil service permeates the book -- and it is published when that ethos is needed more than ever."—Christian J. Tams, University of Glasgow, UK
This book provides a new assessment of Eric Drummond, the first Secretary-General of the League of Nations. Part 1 describes his character and leadership. His influence in shaping the International Civil Service is the subject of Part 2. Part 3 shows the large-scale absorption of League programmes, practices and staff into the UN and its Specialized Agencies.
