International audience ; Established in 1919 by Part XIII of the Treaty of Versailles, the ILO is the result of a political compromise intended to meet the expectations of public opinion while avoiding a major social crisis in a context of demobilization and Communist revolutionary contagion. In the short time of the social history of the industrial world, its creation is a continuation of the nebulous reformer of the social question, as in the dynamics impelled by the international trade union movement during the war. Conceived as a tripartite organization associating employers and workers representatives with States, it focuses its activity on the elaboration of international labor legislation which it bases on humanist values and a fundamental principle inscribed in the first lines of the preamble of the Part XIII: the indissoluble link between the promotion of social justice and the establishment of universal peace. The present study is based on the examination of these legal productions which account for the polemical nature of the debates which cross and surround the nascent institution, in particular in the Twenties. At the same time, they legitimize the ILO as the site of a deeply innovative experience in the field of contemporary international relations which would illustrate a questioning of the presuppositions of the Westphalian system brought about by the growing interdependence of societies and states . By inscribing this organization in a temporality of modernity, this production translates the significance of political and social issues in legal discourse. The empirical and concrete character of the legitimation process is illustrated by the validation of practices contested by certain socio-professional groups, or by certain States, by the voice of diplomats or licensed jurists, which concern the nature of the institution, its areas of competence and its normative capacity. ; Instituée en 1919 par la Partie XIII du Traité de Versailles, l'OIT (ILO) est le résultat d'un compromis politique destiné ...

Auf dem Hintergrund der Struktur der internationalen Gewerkschaftsbewegung und der Einflusmöglichkeiten von WGB, IBFG und WVA sowie der Macht regionaler Zusammenschlüsse wie EGB, DATUU, ICATU und COUSTAL untersucht der Verfasser das Grundsatzprogramm des DGB auf seine internationalen Aspekte, ausgehend von den Möglichkeiten einer einheitlichen Weltgewerkschaftsorganisation, Friedenssicherung, menschenwürdige Arbeitsbedingungen und Demokratisierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft zu fördern. Die programmatischen Aussagen des DGB werden gemessen an dem engen Zusammenhang zwischen nationaler und internationaler Gewerkschaftspolitik. Der Verfasser kommt dabei zu dem Ergebnis, daß eine noch wirksamere und durch die Internationalisierung des Kapitals notwendigere Arbeit der Gewerkschaften durch das Tabu behindert wird, daß IBFG, EGB und DGB mit 'kommunistischen' und WGB Organisationen nicht zusammenarbeiten wollen. Gerade der DGB als eine der größten und einflußreichsten Gewerkschaften der westlichen Welt könne aber entscheidend zur Beseitigung dieser Hindernisse beitragen und so die Voraussetzung dafür schaffen, daß im Mittelpunkt gewerkschaftlichen Handelns nicht das Trennende der organisatorischen und ideologischen Bindung, sondern der arbeitende Mensch steht.

Dans le temps court de l'histoire sociale du monde industriel, sa création s'inscrit dans la continuité de la nébuleuse réformatrice de la question sociale, comme dans la dynamique impulsée par le mouvement syndical international pendant la guerre. Conçue comme une organisation tripartite associant aux Etats des représentants patronaux et ouvriers, elle centre son activité sur l'élaboration d'une législation internationale du travail qu'elle fonde sur des valeurs humanistes et un principe fondamental inscrit dans les premières lignes du préambule de la Partie XIII : le lien indissouble existant entre la promotion d'une justice sociale et l'établissement d'une paix universelle. La présente étude se fonde sur l'examen de ces productions juridiques qui rendent compte du caractère polémique des débats qui traversent et entourent l'institution naissante, notamment dans les années vingt. Ils procèdent dans le même temps à une légitimation de l'OIT comme lieu d'une expérience profondément innovante dans le domaine des relations internationales contemporaines qui illustrerait une remise en cause des présupposés du système westphalien induite par l'interdépendance croissante des sociétés et des Etats. En inscrivant cette organisation dans une temporalité de la modernité, cette production traduit la prégnance des enjeux politiques et sociaux dans le discours juridique. Le caractère empirique et concret du processus de légitimation s'illustre par la validation de pratiques contestées par certains groupes socio-professionnels, ou par certains Etats, par la voix de diplomates ou de jurisconsultes patentés, qui concernent la nature de l'institution, ses domaines de compétence et sa capacité normative.

Every form of social community involves friendship. When we look around, international politics presents us with numerous examples. We may cite the 'Franco-German friendship', the Anglo-American 'special relationship', and the former 'Sino-Soviet friendship'. The Treaty of Westphalia of 1648 proclaimed 'sincere Amity' among its signatories. Furthermore, the UN Charta is dedicated to promote 'friendly relations among nations'. While we find many instances of friendship discourse in international politics we know remarkably little about them. How can we conceptualize and study friendship in international relations? How is international friendship practiced and what empirical cases exist? This edited volume puts forward the argument that international friendship is a distinct type of interstate and international relationship, and that as such, it can contribute to capture aspects of international politics that have long remained unattended. To this end, Simon Koschut and Andrea Oelsner offer a framework for analyzing friendship in international politics by presenting a variety of conceptual approaches and empirical cases of international friendship.

It may appear questionable at first sight to connect international legitimacy and international organisations. However a strong link exists between them. International organisations are the expression, defence, promotion, and projection of a socialised vision of international relations that is key to the claims and gradual implementation of a sense of international legitimacy. As a result, one way to reflect upon global governance — its present situation and what its future is likely to be — is to analyse how international organisations express and contribute to the making of international legitimacy. The paper touches upon three main points. First, it assesses the current legitimacy of international organisations. Second, the paper will examine the contribution of international organisations to international socialisation, which is another word for international or global governance. Thirdly, it attempts to foresee and map some of the key issues around which the future of the international system, international organisations and global governance and the future of their legitimacy will probably revolve.
