International Organizations and the Pursuit of Justice in the World Economy [Abstract]

December 4, 2000
Evaluating the role of international organizations (IOs) in promoting social
justice in a globalizing international political economy, this essay presents
and defends four propositions:
- IOs are in a different, and more vulnerable, political space vis-à-vis
globalization than are nation-states, firms, nongovernmental organizations, or
labor unions;
- Central perceptions about problems of social justice in the context of
globalization common to many IOs are a product of the history and intellectual
trajectory in which these organizations have evolved;
- As a result, there is a common theme and a core set of objectives at play,
having to do with promoting and sustaining liberalization. That is obviously not
the same thing as social justice, although in some intellectual frameworks there
is a tight relationship; and
- The ability of IOs to promote these goals has been challenged and will
continue to be challenged by globalization.
The essay concludes by arguing that IOs are suffering a loss of legitimacy,
and that both social and technological changes associated with globalization
will make it harder for IOs to recapture the power to affect the behavior of
other actors in world politics.
