Joseph Maiolo

In a riveting discussion, Joseph Maiolo, an expert in international history, and Laura Robson, a scholar of population politics, delve into their critical analysis of the League of Nations. They argue that its mission was less about fostering peace and more about controlling global resources and populations. Their insights reveal how the League's disarmament efforts aimed to protect imperial hierarchies and maintain colonial structures, challenging traditional narratives. Maiolo and Robson also highlight the League's reliance on military power and the technocratic facade it used to mask imperial ambitions.
