About this book
The book analyses how international law addresses interactions between international organizations. In labour governance, these interactions are ubiquitous. They offer each organization an opportunity to promote its model of labour governance, yet simultaneously expose it to adverse influence from others. The book captures this ambivalence and examines the capacity of international law to mitigate it. Based on detailed case studies of mutual influence between the International Labour Organization, the World Bank, and the Council of Europe, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the pertinent law and its key challenges, both at institutional and inter-organizational level. The author envisions a law of inter-organizational interactions as a normative framework structuring interactions and enhancing the effectiveness and legitimacy of multi-institutional governance.
Reviews
“The well documented text leads readers to a wealth of primary sources and relevantcommentary. … Overall, Gött’s book provides an impressive contribution to the literature on international organizations … . It should interest readers in political science as well as international law, especially on governance theory and public international law doctrine. The book provides considerable food for thought about ways to reinforce the ILO’s cooperation and institutional arrangements with other organizations … .” (Anne Trebilcock, International Labour Review, February 14, 2022)
