Abstract
The history of international organisations has become a vibrant field of inquiry over the last decade. Some scholars, such as Susan Pedersen, have argued powerfully for the importance of the League of Nations, an organisation long relegated to the bin of failed attempts to create world peace. Others have turned their attention to how the United Nations and its myriad agencies such as UNESCO created different networks beyond and between Cold War blocs. Yet work on UNESCO has primarily focused on intellectual histories of its initiatives in science, education and culture rather than work on the ground. The volume under review here represents the first work to trace ‘the routes rather than the roots of UNESCO’s initiatives’ (p. 7) and to explore the impact of UNESCO programmes. The book appears as part of the Global History of UNESCO Project funded by the Danish Council of Independent Research and directed by the volume’s editor, Poul Duedahl. The chapters (from an impressively international group of scholars) explore case-studies from around the world, including archaeology in Iraq and Afghanistan (Agnès Borde Meyer), Japanese history textbooks (Aigul Kulnazarova), experts sent to Latin America (Anabella Abarzúa Cutroni), global library initiatives (Miriam Intrator) and Swiss-born ethnographer Alfred Métraux’s production of the UNESCO Courier (Edgardo Crebs).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
