520    This open access book is about the shaping of 
       international relations in mathematics over the last two 
       hundred years. It focusses on institutions and 
       organizations that were created to frame the international
       dimension of mathematical research. Today, striking 
       evidence of globalized mathematics is provided by 
       countless international meetings and the worldwide 
       repository ArXiv. The text follows the sinuous path that 
       was taken to reach this state, from the long nineteenth 
       century, through the two wars, to the present day. 
       International cooperation in mathematics was well 
       established by 1900, centered in Europe. The first 
       International Mathematical Union, IMU, founded in 1920 and
       disbanded in 1932, reflected above all the trauma of WW I.
       Since 1950 the current IMU has played an increasing role 
       in defining mathematical excellence, as is shown both in 
       the historical narrative and by analyzing data about the 
       International Congresses of Mathematicians. For each of 
       the three periods discussed, interactions are explored 
       between world politics, the advancement of scientific 
       infrastructures, and the inner evolution of mathematics. 
       Readers will thus take a new look at the place of 
       mathematics in world culture, and how international 
       organizations can make a difference. Aimed at 
       mathematicians, historians of science, scientists, and the
       scientifically inclined general public, the book will be 
       valuable to anyone interested in the history of science on
       an international level.
