Document Summary

Constructivist approach: global organizations do more than neoliberal-institutionalists think they do, ios are autonomous, features that make ios powerful can also make them weak (pathologies) Sociological approach: organizations are bound by more than just e ciency - power and social control: ios became autonomous through technical rationality and control over information. Max weber says that bureaucracies have power because of their rational-legal authority, expertise, and information. Sources of io power: classify the world into actors and action. Ex: un determines who is a refugee. Ex: world bank"s ease of doing business: fix meanings in the social world. Conceptualization of things like peace, security, refuge, etc: articulate and di use new norms, principles, and actors around the world. Bureaucratic culture breeds pathologies in ios: irrationality of rationalization - means become the end. Why, if they"re not always serving states" interests, Pols 2331 would they exist: participating to signal, not always best to give states whatever they want.
