Reviews"Hanrieder's perceptive books details several failed attemptes to reform the World Health Organizaton by aiming to reverse the organization's fragmentation and to introduce greater coherence into its policies and practices. ...its discouraging analysis is valuable and applicable to many organizations." -Foreign Affairs"Hanrieder's book is a theoretically insightful and empirically rich contribution to the study of the design and change of international organizations in several ways: First, in demonstrating that IO creation and change cannot be sufficiently accounted for by rationalist institutionalist accounts. Rather, historical contingency and path dependence matter. Second, in drawing attention to and analysing the un-intended effects of organizational reforms which are often overlooked when reforms are evaluated, but which may be much more decisive for the design and working of an organization than the reform's original goals." -- Angela Heucher, Global Affairs, Taylor and Francis Online, "Hanrieder's perceptive books details several failed attemptes to reform the World Health Organizaton by aiming to reverse the organization's fragmentation and to introduce greater coherence into its policies and practices. ...its discouraging analysis is valuable and applicable to many organizations." -Foreign Affairs, "Hanrieder's perceptive books details several failed attemptes to reform the World Health Organizaton by aiming to reverse the organization's fragmentation and to introduce greater coherence into its policies and practices. ...its discouraging analysis is valuable and applicable to many organizations." -Foreign Affairs "Hanrieder's book is a theoretically insightful and empirically rich contribution to the study of the design and change of international organizations in several ways: First, in demonstrating that IO creation and change cannot be sufficiently accounted for by rationalist institutionalist accounts.

SynopsisInternational Organization in Time investigates the effects of reform programs on international organizations (IOs). Drawing on insights from historical institutionalism and sociological organization theory, the book develops a theory of IO fragmentation to account for the centrifugal tendencies of the global polity. Focusing on the reform problems in the United Nations system in general and the World Health Organization in particular, the findings of International Organization in Time not only advance scholarly understanding of institutional development beyond the state, but also raise important questions about the legitimacy of international organizations., International Organization in Time investigates why reformers often pledge to unify international organizations, but end up fragmenting them instead. The book reconstructs the institutional history of the World Health Organization (WHO) since its creation in 1946. It theorizes the fragmentation trap, which is both a cause and a consequence of reform failure in the WHO. A comparison between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) illustrates the relevance of path dependence and fragmentation across the United Nations (UN) system. As the UN approaches its 70th anniversary, this book helps to understand the path dependent dynamics that reformers encounter in international organizations., International Organization in Time investigates why reformers often pledge to unify international organizations (IOs), but end up fragmenting them instead.
