Against the backdrop of new themes, which have developed in the realm of global history and the history of globalization, the long neglected study concerning the League of Nations has been reopened in recent years. For the weak states of the region of Latin America, the League of Nations had a particular meaning: the Geneva Organization provided a platform for claims of sovereignty. Thus, when, on November 15th, 1920 the first full meeting a world organization was opened in Geneva, the New World represented more than a third of the assembled members. From a regional perspective, Thomas Fischer casts new light on the expectation of the Latin American pundits, intellectuals, publicists and politics in comparison to the League of Nations and the actions of the representatives from Central and South America in Geneva. The specific attention is given to the reconstruction of the efforts concerning representation, a reformulation of the Monroe Doctrine as well as for an active role in the League of Nations for conflict resolution in Latin America.
