Focus: the US and a South American country (e.g. Argentina), especially the periods of shared neutrality (1914–17, 1939–41). A diaspora angle, likely German immigrant communities, is encouraged, so relevant language/archival skills matter.

The work package: "Atlantic Blockade and Transatlantic Strains." It looks at how WWI/WWII blockades disrupted communication, travel, and emotional ties across the Atlantic - not just Britain's top-down blacklisting, but the strain felt in the Americas themselves.

Specifically, it investigates whether these blockade-mediated institutions facilitate or hinder the transition from dependence to independence and the subsequent integration of new African member states into the United Nations-backed global order.

Samuël Kruizinga @samuelkruizinga.bsky.social · 15/04/2026
It questions how the blockades of the era of the total war influenced or inspired the key tools of the post-1945 liberal international order, namely inter- and supranational forms of credit, finance, and resource control under United Nations management.

You will also analyse what lessons contemporaries drew from these sanctions and blockades, both at state and international levels.

Samuël Kruizinga @samuelkruizinga.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
Your PhD will focus on the interaction between the international level (and the development of thinking on the ethics and efficacy of using sanctions and blockades in the interest, however defined, of political aims) and one or more concrete case studies of interwar blockades.

Samuël Kruizinga @samuelkruizinga.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
Examples include sanctions levied against Japan following its invasion of Manchuria and against Italy following that of Ethiopia, as well as the multinational non-intervention committee set up to isolate both camps in the Spanish Civil War.

Samuël Kruizinga @samuelkruizinga.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
Following the experiences of economic warfare during the First World War, blockades and sanctions became tools wielded by the League of Nations and by others on behalf of an ‘international community’ to combat infractions of international law.
