Beschreibung
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.
This book fills the gap between actual influence and extant knowledge of IOs; it also assesses the likeliness of an even more intertwined world, in which IOsโ network cannot be disentangled โ at least, not as easily as assessed by authoritarian leaders and authoritative authors. The book is based on a sound knowledge of dozens of organizations directly or indirectly observed, either personally or through teams of students in several countries, which made it possible for the author to select the hardest cases to test his hypotheses, and assess the option that we may ever have a world government.

The Making of the World is a valuable contribution to understanding IOs and their role in shaping the global future. Schemeil successfully challenges traditional narratives with a fresh and rigorous approach. The interdisciplinary analysis he proposes, along with his emphasis on cooperation and adaptability, makes this work essential reading for students and experts in International Relations, Organization Theory, and those interested in the emerging field of International Public Administration.

This book is an impressive study of ios and interorganisational networks and how they permeate and organise all areas of world politics. The author is not content with a simplified, linear narrative, nor does he take a case study as a starting point to develop his argument. The authorโs claim is more far-reaching. He wants to present a book that flags up the complexity of ios, the relationships between them and their contribution to institutionalisation.
Martin Koch, European Review of International Studies (ERIS), 12 (2025)
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.
Leah Kimber, Swiss Political Science Review (SPSR) / Revue Suisse de Science Politique (RSSP), 09/2024
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.

Schemeil nimmt die โBlackboxโ der internationalen Organisation in den Fokus, wobei er sich mehr fรผr Netzwerke und Dynamiken der Kooperation und Institutionalisierung, als auf einzelne Institutionen konzentriert. Hierfรผr greift er u.a. auf theoretische Ansรคtze wie das Network Growth Model zurรผck, bezieht sich aber auch auf langjรคhrige Erfahrungen an und mit internationalen Organisationen.

Sociologists Gayl Ness and Steven Brechin once harshly criticized the political science literature on international organizations (IOs) for not understanding IOs as organizations, thus missing the dynamics that take place within and through them. They found little response, but political scientist Yves Schemeil did precisely what the two recommended to bridge the gap. Schemeilโs new approach makes this book completely different from regular IO studies. His book, based on thorough research, is rich in examples from a wide variety of IOs and contains for readers interesting dialogues, debates and excitedly delivered explanations.

Was Internationale Organisationen charakterisiert, was sie leisten und warum wir sie heute mehr denn je brauchen
Nach mehrjรคhrigem Politikstudium kรถnnte man meinen, schon eine ganze Menge รผber Multilateralismus, Diplomatie, Internationale Organisationen (IO) sowie die Bedeutung letztgenannter fรผr Erstgenanntes zu wissen. Dies sollte Studierende der Politikwissenschaft, der Internationalen Beziehungen (IB) und verwandter Studiengรคnge nicht davon abhalten, zu โThe Making of the Worldโ zu greifen, gelingt es Yves Schemeil doch, neue Perspektiven auf die multidimensionalen Einflussmรถglichkeiten von IO zu erรถffnen. Lesende profitieren von Vorwissen bezรผglich grundlegender IB-Theorien sowie der Genese und Rolle von IO, weshalb es fรผr Studierende in den letzten Zรผgen ihres Bachelors und hรถheren Qualifikationsstufen passend erscheint. Als besonders wertvoll fรผr Studierende erweist sich zudem die bรผndige Zusammenfassung am Ende jedes Kapitels, die das Werk nicht zuletzt zu einem guten Begleiter fรผr universitรคre Seminare im Feld der Internationalen Beziehungen macht.
Neben den Kapiteln zur grundlegenden Funktionsweise und Herausforderungen von IO habe ich vor allem den letzten Teil des Werkes mit Gewinn gelesen, werden hier doch mรถgliche Zukunftsperspektiven diskutiert. Schemeil stellt die sich verschiebenden globalen Krรคfteverhรคltnisse und die Parallelitรคt multipler Krisen, welche die Kooperation innerhalb und die Vermittlung durch IO nรถtiger denn je machen, รผberzeugend dar und diskutiert mรถgliche Reformoptionen in ihrer Struktur, um diesen Herausforderungen kรผnftig erfolgreich(er) begegnen zu kรถnnen.
