Lernen aus dem Völkerbund. Egon Ranshofen-Wertheimer und seine Studie „The International Secretariat. A Great Experiment in International Administration“ (1945)
The establishment of a permanent international secretariat is one of the great innovations of the League of Nations. The administrative apparatus of Geneva was not simply an international office with national representatives but gradually evolved into a new kind of authority beyond the individual member states. This development, however, was much less planned than it might have seemed. Since Article 6 of the League Covenant of 1919 avoided any details on the administrative machinery of the Secretariat, its institutional structure and functioning were essentially shaped by the first Secretary General, Sir Eric Drummond, and its staff. Among them was the Austrian Egon Ferdinand Ranshofen-Wertheimer (1894–1957), who, after 1945, wrote one of the first studies on this “great experiment” in international administration. This article revisits this publication and places it in its historical context.

The oil prince's legacy : Rockefeller philanthropy in China
\"The Oil Prince's Legacy traces Rockefeller philanthropy in China from the nineteenth century to today. Family diaries, letters, interviews in China, and institutional archival records are used to tell a compelling story about successive Rockefeller generations and U.S.-China cultural relations. This book describes how Rockefeller philanthropy came to focus on elite science and medicine and ensured their ongoing importance in the American-Chinese relationship. That importance is still seen today in the ties of the two countries in natural and social sciences, the humanities, economics, and higher education. The Rockefeller family's involvement with China continues in the fourth and fifth generations, even as Rockefeller philanthropy is reshaped in response to China's rise as a global power. Understanding the origin, evolution, Cold War interregnum, and post-Mao renewal of Rockefeller philanthropy brings new clarity to the nature and tenacity of this ongoing bilateral relationship.\"--Provided by publisher.

Measuring the economic value of research : the case of food safety
\"The scientific advances that underpin economic growth and human health would not be possible without research investments. Yet demonstrating the impact of research programs is a challenge, especially in areas that span disciplines, industrial sectors, and encompass both public and private sector activity. All areas of research are under pressure to demonstrate benefits from federal funding of research. This exciting and innovative study demonstrates new methods and tools to trace the impact of federal research funding on the structure of research, and the subsequent economic activities of funded researchers. The case study is food safety research, which is critical to avoiding outbreaks of disease. The authors make use of an extraordinary new data infrastructure and apply new techniques in text analysis. Focusing on the impact of US federal food safety research, this book develops vital data-intensive methodologies that have a real world application to many other scientific fields\"-- Provided by publisher.
