Constructing world culture
international nongovernmental organizations since 1875
by John Boli and George M. Thomas
This book illuminates the central role played by international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) in the emergence and development of a comprehensive world polity.
The contributors argue that the enormous proliferation of INGOs since 1875 - including environmental organizations, human rights groups, bodies formed to regulate technical standards, and economic development organizations, among others - both reflects and contributes to the spread of global institutions and cultural principles based on models of rationality, individualism, progress, and universalism.
The contributors contrast this world-polity perspective to other approaches to understanding globalization, including realist and neo-realist analyses in the field of international relations, and world-system theory and interstate competition theory in sociology.
