Titre(s) : Democratic intergovernmental organizations? [Texte électronique] : normative pressures and decision-making rules / Alexandru Grigorescu
Publication : New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2015
Description matérielle : 1 online resource (xiii, 316 pages)
Note(s) : "This work posits that, over the past two centuries, democratic norms have spread
from domestic politics to intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). Grigorescu explores
how norms shaped IGO decision-making rules such as those driving state participation,
voting, access to information, and the role of NGOs and transnational parliaments.
The study emphasizes the role of 'normative pressures' (the interaction between norm
strength and the degree to which the status quo strays from norm prescriptions). Using
primary and secondary sources to assess the plausibility of its arguments across two
centuries and two dozen IGOs, the study focuses on developments in the League of Nations,
the International Labor Organization, the United Nations, the World Bank, the European
Union, and the World Trade Organization"--
