This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will support a collaborative research project that studies how organizations have sought to strengthen governance, build trust, and engage stakeholders in resolving international crises from the end of World War I to contemporary times. The $200,000 award to the University of Chicago will fund an interdisciplinary research effort drawing on history, international relations, sociology, and political science to understand the dynamics of organizations and how they can sustain governance and trust globally. The project will examine campaigns to create, reform, transform, or abolish international organizations, as well as how non-governmental organizations have tried to leverage these bodies to achieve their objectives. The research findings will provide inputs into policies to improve the effectiveness of international organizations for future generations. The project team will produce a co-authored monograph and engage stakeholders through papers and workshops.
