  The Nobel Peace Prize 1901-2000
In 1904, the Institute of International Law, the first organization or institution to receive the Peace Prize, was honored for its efforts as an unofficial body to formulate the general principles of the science of international law.
On the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Red Cross, the 1963 prize was divided between the Swiss International Committee of the Red Cross and the international League of Red Cross Societies, representing the two major arms of the Red Cross movement.
The second prize came in 1997 when the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and its coordinator, Jody Williams, were honored for their work to ban and remove anti-personnel land mines and to support the victims of such mines.

 The Nobel Prize in Literature
Camilo José Cela, who had, in an international perspective, modest claims to the title "pioneer", but who was, in Spanish literature, the great innovator of post-war fiction.
His will had an international horizon, though it rejected any consideration for the nationality of the candidates: the most worthy should be chosen, "whether he be Scandinavian or not".
International criticism of the Literature Prize has usually treated the Academy's practice during the first century of the Prize as a whole, overlooking the differences in outlook and criteria between the various periods, even neglecting the continuous renewal which makes the Academy of, say, 1950 a jury much different from Wirsén's.

 Idealist Peace
Curiously quiet on the international scene in that period were India and Pakistan, deep in secret negotiations that had been going on for several months over the fate of the disputed territory of Kashmir.
I do not wish to argue whether or not international law in the preceding period was law or not, but that it was not effective overall because it was not authoritative and had no enforcement.
Since the focus of an idealist peace is on actors and sub-actors, rather than the system of their interaction, we had to deal with the problems within states.

 Editorial: Class struggle, not the vote, will decide humanity's future | International Communist Current
Thanks to the impetus given by the First, and then by the Second International, the workers undertook large scale struggles, often at the cost of their lives, to win improvements in their living conditions (working day reduced from 12 or 14 to 10 hours, banning of child labour, or of dangerous work for women).
Nonetheless, a crucial debate was to develop within the Communist International during the 1920s, over the possibility of using the "tactic" of "revolutionary parliamentarism"; this was the line defended by Lenin and the Bolshevik party.
It was the implicit support of the International's 2nd Congress that was to allow the abstentionist fraction to emerge from its status as an isolated minority.

 Reading Mayan Women's In/Security - Maria Stern-Pettersson
Yet, in their narratives they also make it clear that security in one context may differ drastically in another context; what security means in the family, for example may differ from what it means in encounters with Ladino society, or in the Guatemalan state in general.
Attempts to widen the concept of in/security to reflect this conceptual dearth have set the stage for an un-packing and re-thinking of in/security which can, if not answer, than at least ask relevant questions around a conceptions of in/security which takes into account the centrality of identity, and the manifoldedness of struggle and conflict.
The International relations discourse does not consist of one monolithic theory to which all of the people in power adhere.

The notion that anyone else would be able to afford a printing press, or that a newspaper would be something other than the organ of a political faction (or that the people of color and the people of plain ol' no money would be involved in politics, for that matter), was alien to the Founders.
Publishers and printing press owners were one and the same, and they were marketing towards their comrades in the upper classes.
The press was vitally important for the founding of the country, as it made up an "internal bulletin" for the ruling elite of post-colonial America.

 Marie and Pierre Curie
It was François Mitterrand who, before ending his fourteen-year-long presidency, took this initiative, as he said "in order to finally respect the equality of women and men before the law and in reality" ("pour respecter enfin....l'égalité des femmes et des hommes dans le droit comme dans les faits").
Marie, too, was an idealist; though outwardly shy and retiring, she was in reality energetic and single-minded.
Formerly, only the Prize for Literature and the Peace Prize had obtained wide press coverage; the Prizes for scientific subjects had been considered all too esoteric to be able to interest the general public.

 UIUC College of Education: Faculty and Staff: Walter Feinberg
When Dewey left the idealist camp, he rejected the metaphysics, but dragged much of the ethics along with him and added a more robust, although conceptually problematic, commitment to democratic forms of social organization.
Abandoning the idealist's metaphysics also meant abandoning the notion that spirit, nature, or god has allotted each of us a specific and, perhaps predetermined, place and function in the grand scheme of things.
Democracy requires that freedom of press, assembly and the like be respected without regard to a method of inquiry.

This is, claims Ebert, a necessary result of the fact that the "anarchic-ludic" politics of "post-al" theory both reinforces the dominant economic logics (of a global patriarchal capitalism) of our times and occludes "the historical necessity of the class struggle over power" that she finds central to Marxism and Red Feminism.

 The Decline, Disorientation and Decomposition of a Leadership 3 - RH
Such an idealist method has very little in common with Marxism, which proceeds not from what people think about themselves or what they desire but from the conditions in which they are placed and from the changes which these conditions will undergo.
Therefore, the Second International’s parties split their programmes into a maximum and a minimum programme, which led to the day-to-day tasks often having no relation to the long-term goal.
The decline of the Second International was an historical process linked to the material developments of the previous epoch, of the spread and development of capitalism.

In prayer human beings again press against the limits of their nature, expressing their dearest wishes to a Being capable of fulfilling them.
