This volume assembles in one place the work of scholars who are
making key contributions to a new approach to the United Nations,
and to global organizations and international law more generally.
Anthropology has in recent years taken on global organizations as a
legitimate source of its subject matter. The research that is being
done in this field gives a human face to these world-reforming
institutions. Palaces of Hope demonstrates that these institutions
are not monolithic or uniform, even though loosely connected by a
common organizational network. They vary above all in their powers
and forms of public engagement. Yet there are common threads that
run through the studies included here: the actions of global
institutions in practice, everyday forms of hope and their
frustration, and the will to improve confronted with the realities
of nationalism, neoliberalism, and the structures of international
power.
