| Summary |
"International organizations (IOs) have become increasingly powerful. In recent decades, states have conferred more and more powers upon IOs in order to solve transnational problems and to provide global public goods. As a consequence of their increasing powers, IOs are affecting the lives of individuals across the globe - directly and indirectly. Throughout the 20th century, this internationalization was generally seen as a positive development, the "assumption [being] that international organisations are, necessarily, a good thing, an assumption which often takes the place of argument""-- Provided by publisher |
