“…13 At the same time one may recollect that Swedish membership in the League of Nations was not an altogether uncontroversial political process and the suggestion had also been made that Sweden should enter the League only after the U.S.A. had done the same thing, something which as we know never happened. While the principle of self-determination was still an open debate in legal and political circles following President Wilson's Fourteen Points from January 1918, Sweden, and especially Hjalmar Branting, leader of the social democratic party, incorporated it strongly in the pacifist movement.…”

“…E. Shepard Jones pointed this out already in his seminal work on The Scandinavian States and the League of Nations in 1939. 2 Shepard Jones made the point that the Scandinavian countries were characterized by a certain aloofness from European power politics, which allowed them to work actively, impartially and persistently to strengthen the League's organizational capacity, international law, arbitration and disarmament. This view has since been echoed by other writers and is still with us today as IR scientists conceptualize Scandinavia as an 'island of peace' 3 and the Scandinavian states as 'international norm entrepreneurs' in IOs.…”

This article reintroduces the Scandinavian perspective on interwar internationalism by mapping and analysing the Scandinavian staff in the League Secretariat. Combining quantitative and qualitative sources, the article explores how the Scandinavian members of staff were viewed by and situated in the institutional topography of the League Secretariat; how they were related to and positioned towards the national foreign policy establishment; and what the postwar trajectories of the Scandinavian League staff looked like. With these perspectives, the article offers three key insights: First, the interplay between the League Secretariat and the foreign policy strategies pursued by the Scandinavians, was highly productive, and the international issues that different Scandinavian countries engaged with through the League staff was substantially determined by the institutional setup of the League. Second, we note clear differences in terms of strategy and commitment between the three countries' Ministries of Foreign Affairs (MFAs). Third, the careers of the Scandinavians working in the Secretariat show a clear continuity of Scandinavian internationalism across the Second World War. The experience, prestige and networks gained from working in the League Secretariat often translated into key positions in postwar IOs or within the new multilateral parts of the MFAs.

“…Można stwierdzić, że kraje skandynawskie przygotowywały się od lat do uczestnictwa w Lidze Narodów, promując traktaty arbitrażowe i procedury koncyliacyjne w stosunkach mię-dzynarodowych. Same wytworzyły powszechne przekonanie, że są powołane do misji szerzenia pokoju na świecie 13 . Dlatego po przystąpieniu do Ligi Szwecja pragnęła odegrać aktywną w niej rolę.…”

Szwedzki oddział "wileński" -niezrealizowana ekspedycja rozjemcza w 1920/1921 roku A b s t r a k t: Celem niniejszego tekstu jest zaprezentowanie problemu ze szwedzkiej perspektywy, z uwzględnieniem celów polityki zagranicznej neutralnej Szwecji, jej aktywności w Lidze Narodów oraz stosunku do sytuacji po drugiej stronie Bałtyku. Spór polsko-litewski obserwowano w Sztokholmie z uwagą, ale nie angażowano się w jego rozwiązanie. Dopiero w listopadzie 1920 r. Liga Narodów zwróciła się m.in. do Szwecji o wysłanie do Wilna oddziału wojskowego, który miałby zabezpieczyć obszar planowanego plebiscytu.
