International Organisations and Ideas

Abstract

This panel seeks to better understand the politics of ideas in international organization(s) and global governance. Papers from a variety of perspectives and disciplines are welcome. Proposals can thus focus on theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented approaches. They can originate from scholars of international relations, political science, sociology, history, economics, and anthropology. For this panel, ideas might be studied as norms, values, inter-subjective understandings, ideologies, knowledge, and culture. The role of ideas might be examined as inputs into or outputs of international institutions. The panel is also open to papers dealing with different types of ideational processes, including agenda-setting, legitimation, socialization, norm creation, norm diffusion, democratization, and social control. Ultimately, the panel should help explain how international organization(s) and global governance are socially constructed.
