Building on the concept of depoliticization, this book provides a
first systematic analysis of International Organizations (IO)
apolitical claims. It shows that depoliticization sustains IO
everyday activities while allowing them to remain engaged in
politics, even when they pretend not to. Delving into the inner
dynamics of global governance, this book develops an analytical
framework on why IOs "hate" politics by bringing together practices
and logics of depoliticization in a wide variety of historical,
geographic and organizational contexts. With multiple case studies
in the fields of labor rights and economic regulation,
environmental protection, development and humanitarian aid,
peacekeeping, among others this book shows that depoliticization is
enacted in a series of overlapping, sometimes mundane, practices
resulting from the complex interaction between professional habits,
organizational cultures and individual tactics. By approaching the
consequences of these practices in terms of logics, the book
addresses the instrumental dimension of depoliticization without
assuming that IO actors necessarily intend to depoliticize their
action or global problems. For IO scholars and students, this book
sheds new light on IO politics by clarifying one often
taken-for-granted dimension of their everyday activities, precisely
that of depoliticization. It will also be of interest to other
researchers working in the fields of political science,
international relations, international political sociology,
international political economy, international public
administration, history, law, sociology, anthropology and geography
as well as IO practitioners.
