George Hubbard Blakeslee

George Hubbard Blakeslee (August 27, 1871 in Geneseo, New York[1] – May 5, 1954) was an academic, professor of history and international relations at Clark University, and a founder (along with G. Stanley Hall) of the Journal of Race Development, the first American journal devoted to international relations.

Born in Geneseo, New York, he was the brother of the botanist Albert Francis Blakeslee.

[3] Blakeslee participated in a number of international bodies: the Washington Disarmament Conference of 1921, the Lytton Commission of 1931–32, and in 1942 led the Far Eastern Unit that was a subcommittee of the Advisory Committee on Postwar Foreign Policy at the State Department.

This unit, though its designation changed several times before the US occupation of Japan, led to the post-World War II Far Eastern Commission on which he served.

He was also a member of the board of trustees of the World Peace Foundation.
