Abstract Details

2012, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Political Science.
This dissertation examines the role of international institutions in the international system by addressing the two core reasons behind the enduring indeterminacy about the topic: the failure to situate international institutions in the dynamics of change in the international system, and, once international institutions have been situated properly, the challenge of assessing their impacts both inclusively and isolated from every other aspect pertaining to the dynamic linkages between domestic and international affairs. To this end, the dissertation provides a framework of analysis that conceptualizes the systemic role of international institutions as integral to the dynamics of change in the international system. The framework is applied to the WTO as a specific case study, examining whether and how the WTO alters the prospects for systemic changes, and what that means for the debate on the role of international institutions in the international system. The dissertation contributes to the literature on the impact of the WTO on the international system and advances the understanding of, and provides a springboard for further investigating, the systemic role of international institutions.
