The Making of the World
How International Organizations Shape Our Future

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 IOs’ network cannot be disentangled – 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.

Pressestimmen
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. Schemeil’s 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.
Bob Reinalda, Radboud University, The Netherlands
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.

Was Internationale Organisationen charakterisiert, was sie leisten und warum wir sie heute mehr denn je brauchen
Nach mehrjährigem Politikstudium könnte man meinen, schon eine ganze Menge über Multilateralismus, Diplomatie, Internationale Organisationen (IO) sowie die Bedeutung letztgenannter für Erstgenanntes zu wissen. Dies sollte Studierende der Politikwissenschaft, der Internationalen Beziehungen (IB) und verwandter Studiengänge nicht davon abhalten, zu „The Making of the World“ zu greifen, gelingt es Yves Schemeil doch, neue Perspektiven auf die multidimensionalen Einflussmöglichkeiten von IO zu eröffnen. Lesende profitieren von Vorwissen bezüglich grundlegender IB-Theorien sowie der Genese und Rolle von IO, weshalb es für Studierende in den letzten Zügen ihres Bachelors und höheren Qualifikationsstufen passend erscheint. Als besonders wertvoll für Studierende erweist sich zudem die bündige Zusammenfassung am Ende jedes Kapitels, die das Werk nicht zuletzt zu einem guten Begleiter für universitäre 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 mögliche Zukunftsperspektiven diskutiert. Schemeil stellt die sich verschiebenden globalen Kräfteverhältnisse und die Parallelität multipler Krisen, welche die Kooperation innerhalb und die Vermittlung durch IO nötiger denn je machen, überzeugend dar und diskutiert mögliche Reformoptionen in ihrer Struktur, um diesen Herausforderungen künftig erfolgreich(er) begegnen zu können.

Was Internationale Organisationen charakterisiert, was sie leisten und warum wir sie heute mehr denn je brauchen
Nach mehrjährigem Politikstudium könnte man meinen, schon eine ganze Menge über Multilateralismus, Diplomatie, Internationale Organisationen (IO) sowie die Bedeutung letztgenannter für Erstgenanntes zu wissen. Dies sollte Studierende der Politikwissenschaft, der Internationalen Beziehungen (IB) und verwandter Studiengänge nicht davon abhalten, zu „The Making of the World“ zu greifen, gelingt es Yves Schemeil doch, neue Perspektiven auf die multidimensionalen Einflussmöglichkeiten von IO zu eröffnen. Lesende profitieren von Vorwissen bezüglich grundlegender IB-Theorien sowie der Genese und Rolle von IO, weshalb es für Studierende in den letzten Zügen ihres Bachelors und höheren Qualifikationsstufen passend erscheint. Als besonders wertvoll für Studierende erweist sich zudem die bündige Zusammenfassung am Ende jedes Kapitels, die das Werk nicht zuletzt zu einem guten Begleiter für universitäre 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 mögliche Zukunftsperspektiven diskutiert.
