Excerpt from A Study of International Government IN view of American discussion of the League of Nations, beginning with President Wilson's labors in setting up its machinery and the persistent effort which is still being made to induce this country to enter the League, it is both timely and pertinent to consider the historical aspect of the question. The present study of international government is not a plea for or against the present League of Nations per se, but is, as its name implies, an analysis of the efforts at government between and among nations since the dawn of civilization. Its pages endeavor to trace international govern ment from primitive to modern society, bringing out its connection with the present world move ments of nationalism, imperialism, and internation alism. It shows, for example, how the Papacy during the Middle Ages approached a form of inter national government and how modern history has brought a gradual development along the legislative, executive and judicial lines. The historical portions are followed by an analysis of the constitution and achievements of the actual League, and, last of all, by a consideration of its specific problems in the light of economics, biology and social psychology.

This book explores how international organizations (IOs) have expanded their powers over time without formally amending their founding treaties. IOs intervene in military, financial, economic, political, social, and cultural affairs, and increasingly take on roles not explicitly assigned to them by law. Sinclair contends that this 'mission creep' has allowed IOs to intervene internationally in a way that has allowed them to recast institutions within and interactions among states, societies, and peoples on a broadly Western, liberal model. Adopting a historical and interdisciplinary, socio-legal approach, Sinclair supports this claim through detailed investigations of historical episodes involving three very different organizations: the International Labour Organization in the interwar period; the United Nations in the two decades following the Second World War; and the World Bank from the 1950s through to the 1990s. The book draws on a wide range of original institutional and archival materials, bringing to light little-known aspects of each organization's activities, identifying continuities in the ideas and practices of international governance across the twentieth century, and speaking to a range of pressing theoretical questions in present-day international law and international relations.
