Hanrieder, Tine,
International organization in time : fragmentation and reform / Tine Hanrieder. - First edition. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2015. - 1 online resource (xv, 179 pages) : illustrations (black and white)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This title investigates the effects of reform programmes on international organisations (IOs). Such reforms are often perceived as failing but they do nevertheless drive organisational change. The book argues that reforms trigger path dependent processes in IOs, yielding increasing returns to the winners of historical bargains. Path dependence explains why a seemingly dysfunctional organisational process, namely fragmentation, is hard to reverse but easy to reinforce through organisational reform.
