“…58 Indeed, that strategy was not successful; neither Germany nor Great Britain ever ratified the ILO Hours of Work Convention. 59 In general, ratification could be refused by national Parliaments even though their state representatives had signed a convention and the state already had a national law in accordance with the proposed international standards. Setting of standards, and implementing them into national law, was a complicated process of negotiating the interests of political parties and social partners (the trade unions and the employers).…”

The International Labour Organization (ILO) was a part of the international order established by the Treaty of Versailles, which considered social and labor policies as fundamental to the building of a modern peaceful world. Politically, the formation of the Polish and Czechoslovak nation states was also part of the new European order. This article explores the collaboration between the governments of those states and the ILO, concentrating on the intersections between the international standards put forward by the ILO and the institutional continuity of the German and Austrian social insurance systems in the region. It illuminates the so far underreported heritage of transnational policy-making. Analyzing the work of the ILO's national Correspondence Offices in Warsaw and Prague, the ratification of labor standards, and the enacting of social legislation, this article stresses, on the one hand, how standards of work became a subject of international and national control and, on the other, how a normative model of "work" arose.

From a Reformist Professor to a “Mouthpiece” for Capital: Tsunao Miyajima in an International Context

Tsunao Miyajima (1884–1965), qua economist, has gone unsung among historians of economics; however, his intellectual trajectory merits review in an international context. From the early 1910s to the middle of the1920s, he advocated the labor cause and social reform as a professor in Tokyo and Osaka. However, he converted his stance to its antithesis between the late 1920s and early 1930s, when he was acting as chief of the permanent Japanese employers' delegation to the International Labour Organization in Geneva. Observations on his volte-face, placed in the context of relations with famed economists at the time—such as Émile Waxweiler, Charles Gide, John Bates Clarke, and Gustav Cassel—provide insight to a significant episode in the internationalization and international networking in economics and, more broadly, in global intellectual history. Furthermore, particular attention to his objection to the “Eurocentric” organization's attempt to impose minimum wage fixing machinery on and allegations of social dumping in Japan, sheds new light on the international development of policy-oriented economics, namely from the hitherto unheeded perspective of an emerging economy from Asia.
