The Rockefeller Seed: How a Tiny Geneva Institute Outlived Empires
In this episode, we follow the Graduate Institute of International Studies from its 1927 founding through war and reinvention, tracking how leaders, funders, and refugees shaped its mission. What kind of ambition builds an institution to serve a world order and then watches that order crumble while the institution keeps growing?
Person: William Rappard
Person: Paul Mantoux
Date: 1927-1954
Location: Promenade du Pin, Geneva
Funding: Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Fund → Canton of Geneva and Swiss federal government
- Two League of Nations officials, Rappard and Mantoux, convert a rented mansion into the institute that trains diplomats, economists, and legal scholars.
- Rockefeller money establishes the institute as an international economic observatory formally linked to the League and the ILO from year one.
- The institute attracts visiting figures like Jane Addams, John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich Hayek, Raymond Aron, and René Cassin to its summer schools.
- By 1954 Rockefeller funding ends and Swiss public authorities assume financial responsibility, shifting the institute’s center of gravity.
- Throughout the 1930s the same address houses graduate seminars and scholars fleeing fascism, making the campus both classroom and refuge.
