The Making of the World cover

International Organizations (IOs) were designed to provide global public goods, among which security for all, trade for the richest, and development for the poorest. Their very existence is now a promise of success for the cooperative turn in international relations. Although the IO network was once created by established powers, rising states can hardly resist the massive production of norms that their governments can be reluctant to respect without being able to discard them. IOs are omnipresent, and exert great influence on the world as we know it. However, rulers and ruled are hardly aware of such compelling and snowballing processes. Yves Schemeil uses his in-depth knowledge of IOs to analyze their current impact on international relations, on world politics, and their potential of shaping the global future.

Schemeil nimmt die „Blackbox“ der internationalen Organisation in den Fokus, wobei er sich mehr für Netzwerke und Dynamiken der Kooperation und Institutionalisierung, als auf einzelne Institutionen konzentriert. Hierfür greift er u.a. auf theoretische Ansätze wie das Network Growth Model zurück, bezieht sich aber auch auf langjährige Erfahrungen an und mit internationalen Organisationen. C3-Bibliothek für Entwicklungspolitik, 9/2023 "The book presents a distinctive viewpoint in the field of literature by examining IOs from an internal perspective, considering them as autonomous institutions rather than subordinate institutions to their member states and targeting successful examples contrary to many scholars. I highly recommend the book, particularly to young scholars, as Schemeil provides a comprehensive guide for anyone who is interested in conducting research, composing a thesis, or engaging in academic study on the given topic." ULUSLARARASI İLİŞKİLER / INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, 02/2024 "The book is enriched with a wealth of knowledge, anecdotes, and narratives that effectively illustrate and support Schemeil's arguments, offering a comprehensive and engaging analysis of the pivotal roles international organizations play in the global arena." Swiss Political Science Review (SPSR) / Revue Suisse de Science Politique (RSSP), 09/2024
