Dr. Katja Castryck-Naumann (Leipzig)
Expertise and International Politics. Polish Economists in the
UN Secretariat (1946 to the 1960s)
The history of international politics is much more than the history of diplomacy and state representation. International organizations had a big share in it, and the broad spectrum
of actors who were engaged in these institutions, including experts, international civil servants, and all of sorts of activists. Based on this trend, this lecture deals with the early years of the UN headquarters in New York and its department of economic affairs which was key in the negotiations of international economic affairs after World War II. The departments’ work was shaped strongly by Polish economists who entered it as officials. Tracing their careers within the UN secretariat and their professional biographies before and after the service in the UN enables to reconstruct entanglements between international and Polish histories from a fresh angle. Connections include the origins of the economic intelligence of the UN secretariat in the expertise and networks of Polish and East Central European economists of the inter-war-period and during the war as well later collaboration across the divides of the Cold War.
