Marking the close of the UPU’s 150th anniversary celebrations, this new eBook revisits the UPU’s unique place in global history.
Originating from the first UPU Historians’ Colloquium held in Berne in 2024, the volume gathers over twenty scholars who explore how postal exchanges have influenced diplomacy, trade and multilateral cooperation. Produced in partnership with La Poste Group (France), the Historical Committee for the Post and the SIRICE research centre, the book is structured around five thematic sections tracing the Union’s institutional evolution, sovereignty and governance, and the material dimensions of postal services.
Each chapter offers new insights into how the postal sector has shaped global developments, from decolonization to international trade.
The ePUB version will be available here soon. The downloadable PDF version is available below.
