international organisation at the Graduate Institute of International
Studies in Geneva since 1930, former legal adviser to the Ethiopian
government and member of the Italo-Ethiopian Commission; and
Shotwell.^147
It was this same committee which made the further decision to dis-
continue the GRC’s two regular publications, namely, Geneva and
Geneva Special Studies (although the latter persisted into early 1937),
in light of the increasing number of ‘serials or ad hoc important studies
in the field of international relations’ emanating from national research
centres. Nonetheless, and consistent with its policy over the previous six
years, the reconstituted GRC would continue to publish special stud-
ies from time to time on ‘certain outstanding questions’ in regard to
international affairs. Given that the reconstituted GRC was to have no
permanent research staff aside from its director and his secretarial assis-
tants, these studies were to be undertaken in the main by research fel-
lows appointed for shorter or longer periods, the provision of fellowships
being conceived of as a ‘unique opportunity to train scholars in the field
of international relations.’^148
