Power and Principle

Discover the intricate relationship between international organizations and human rights in Power and Principle by Joel E. Oestreich. Published by Georgetown University Press in 2007, this insightful book spans 256 pages and serves as a comprehensive comparative study of how Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) integrate human rights standards into their development operations.

Delving into the process of policy innovation, Oestreich focuses on three pivotal UN-related IGOs: the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), the World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO). This thought-provoking analysis not only highlights the challenges these organizations face but also emphasizes the importance of human rights in fostering global development.

Whether you are a student of political science, a professional in international relations, or simply interested in the dynamics of human rights, Power and Principle offers invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of international policy-making.
