This book applies the analytical approach called Historical
Institutionalism (HI)- so far mostly used within comparative
politics-to the field of International Relations (IR). It provides
an introduction to HI concepts and makes an argument for why it is
particularly well-suited for understanding current developments
within international institutions. In particular, it helps us to
understand the combination of change and stability that together
form the dynamics of institutional development over time. It is the
first book to collect original, empirical research applying
historical institutionalism to international institutions. The
chapters cover a range of institutions important to IR, including
the development of European Union competition policy, the global
politics of financial reform after the 2008 crisis, the
institutional development of the World Health Organization,
membership reforms in the League of Nations and the United Nations
Security Council, and civil society access to intergovernmental
organizations. The concluding chapter discusses the relationship of
HI to other institutionalist approaches and the role of HI in
future IR research.
