| Abstract: | This book challenges mainstream scholarly literature which has argued that we cannot develop meaningful analogies between domestic and international politics. It shows that there are important parallels across these two realms, however, only if we compare political interactions among states over the past two centuries to those within states, going back about one thousand years. It focuses specifically on the evolution of institutions that restrain concentrated power, such as courts, assemblies, or bureaucracies. In doing so, the book complements the literature’s traditional emphasis on efforts to acquire power with a “Lockean” approach emphasizing restraints on power. The first chapters develop a set of theoretical arguments about the emergence, change, and consolidation of institutional restraints on power. These are primarily derived from literature focusing on domestic politics going back to events such as those involving the Magna Carta or the Curia Regis in England, and the Estates General or Parlement in France. The empirical chapters assess the relevance of such arguments for explaining the evolution of numerous intergovernmental organizations: international courts, such as the Permanent Court of Arbitration, International Court of Justice, and International Criminal Court; international assemblies and parliaments such as the League of Nations’ Assembly, UN General Assembly, and European Parliament; and international secretariats such as those of Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine, UN, and World Bank. The similarities between developments in the domestic and international realms lead to several important conclusions about future expectations for international institutions and, more broadly, for world politics. |
