요약The Great War had completely disorganized and dismantled the economic and social systems that made modern life possible over the course of the preceding generation. With railroads, agriculture, and practically all social functioning crippled, the new postwar states of Austria and Poland faced unprecedented hardships ushered in by years of food shortage and sustained by ongoing, "postwar" warfare after 1918. This project explores how local knowledge and international networks meshed to bring relief to the populations ravaged by the conflict. It examines the logic and logistics of American relief efforts in eastern central Europe during and after the Great War, specifically between the years 1915 and 1923, to reveal where political impasses and military violence impeded the flow of food and resources. With only a few American inspectors and advisors on the ground, the distribution of American food actually relied heavily on existing medical knowledge and social welfare networks in the newly formed Polish and Austrian states. The analysis here, therefore, begins with the genesis of the human crisis in the region and emergency relief responses during wartime and concludes with the closure of the American Relief Administration's (ARA) European mission in 1923.Despite an allegedly apolitical stance, the ARA's agents could not separate their work from the politically-charged conditions within which they operated. The present study draws on archival evidence from five countries-Poland, Austria, the US, Germany, and Switzerland-to examine the logic (motivations) and logistics (mechanisms) that drove this significant portion of the massive relief apparatus directed by Herbert Hoover. Using the ARA as a lens through which to understand American humanitarianism in the postwar period, this dissertation argues that the ARA's program is best understood not simply as self-interest or philanthropy, but rather as a social technology of relief, because it required the alignment of a complex array of motivations and systems (both military and civilian), the enrollment of various actors (again, both military and civilian), their motivations and skills, as well as the physical infrastructure of transportation, fuel, and food systems.
