Providing a comprehensive overview of two centuries of
international civil servants and international secretariats, this
book reveals how international secretariats have emerged and
evolved, focusing on both structures (international public
administrations) and the practitioners (international civil
servants). Reinalda explores the history and development of
international secretariats and international civil servants,
starting with the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815), when the first
international organization was established in the form of a river
commission for the navigation of the Rhine. Charting the
development of international secretariats through the nineteenth
century - the League of Nations, the United Nations, and the United
Nations System with its many specialized agencies, the author
explains why NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the OECD
(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) have
strong, rather than weak, international secretariats, and shines a
light on the registries of international courts and tribunals. The
book fills a gap in the literature by exploring the full evolution
of international secretariats, covering global and continental
developments as well as regional integration practices around the
world. Secretariats have become the leading actors in multilateral
diplomacy particularly for dealing with complex issues, and this
book will be of interest to all scholars of global governance and
practitioners working for a range of international organizations.
