At first people thought the Kellogg-Briand Pact, also known as the Pact of Paris, was something ridiculous,” Shapiro said. “It was thought to be something ridiculous.” However, far from being ridiculous, he continued, “the Pact became transformative to the practice of international politics.” For Shapiro, “outlawing war also seems ridiculous from our standpoint because war appears to be the breakdown of the system. But before 1928, war was the system.” Note that each event has at least one primary source document associated with it. These are included to provide students with a deeper understanding of the events, but they are not absolutely necessary to the lesson. Teachers should decide whether or not to require their students to read these, depending on the skill level of their students and the amount of time available for this subject. Internationalists were split between those who believed that reform would come about mainly or solely through a shift in norms (international morality) and those who thought that the only feasible route was through significant institutional construction at the international level. The former (including Cobden) focused on transforming the values of society, and in particular they promoted democracy. The latter proposed the creation of a variety of institutional structures, including regional and global federations, and transnational organizations, including international arbitration bodies.

The ethical imperative to put migrants at the centre of today’s internationalism is clear. But there is strategic value too. ‘Domestically, we see time and time again that migrants – so exposed to precarious labour and minimum-wage violations – are the most important agents for political change,’ Adler tells me. Migrants are at the forefront of campaigns – over housing, work, the right to a life worth living – and their participation improves the lot for every­one.

But, with a focus on institutions like the IMF and World Bank, it may find that its sights are set on the wrong place. This century, the centre of gravity is shifting from Washington to Beijing. And China has little interest in reforming US-dominated multilateral institutions. It has already created its own: in 2010, Chinese state-controlled banks lent more to the Global South than the World Bank did.

What if the legalisation of war had not civilised conflict, as its proponents had argued, but in fact made it worse by giving it a veneer of legitimacy? Wasn’t the problem putting war on a legal footing in the first place? Should it not be outlawed entirely?
