        The Making of the World

        How International Organizations Shape Our Future

        by Yves Schemeil

        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.

        A United Nations Renaissance

        What the UN is, and what it could be

        by John Trent/Laura Schnurr

        This short introduction to the United Nations analyzes the organization as it is today, and how it can be transformed to respond to its critics. Combining essential information about its history and workings with practical proposals of how it can be strengthened, Trent and Schnurr examine what needs to be done, and also how we can actually move toward the required reforms. This book is written for a new generation of change-makers — a generation seeking better institutions that reflect the realities of the 21st century and that can act collectively in the interest of all.
