This book explores how international organizations (IOs) have
expanded their powers over time without formally amending their
founding treaties. IOs intervene in military, financial, economic,
political, social, and cultural affairs, and increasingly take on
roles not explicitly assigned to them by law. Sinclair contends
that this 'mission creep' has allowed IOs to intervene
internationally in a way that has allowed them to recast
institutions within and interactions among states, societies, and
peoples on a broadly Western, liberal model. Adopting a historical
and interdisciplinary, socio-legal approach, Sinclair supports this
claim through detailed investigations of historical episodes
involving three very different organizations: the International
Labour Organization in the interwar period; the United Nations in
the two decades following the Second World War; and the World Bank
from the 1950s through to the 1990s. The book draws on a wide range
of original institutional and archival materials, bringing to light
little-known aspects of each organization's activities, identifying
continuities in the ideas and practices of international governance
across the twentieth century, and speaking to a range of pressing
theoretical questions in present-day international law and
international relations.
