Abstract:

The increasingly dense worldwide network of international organizations (IOs) has generated social power relationships among states that significantly affect global politics. And while many maintain hope that this pervasive institutionalization of global governance through IOs has offset threats posed by international anarchy and national sovereignty, we find this view to be incomplete. IOs do more than referee power relations between states; they also create them by forming social networks characterized by substantial inequality, dividing states into social groups and awarding some states greater prestige than others. This paper pursues three aims: (1) to set
apart relational concepts of power created by the social network of IOs—prestige and group membership—from standard military and economic concepts of power in international relations; (2) to generate empirical indicators to measure each concept that can be widely applied to the study of world politics; and (3) to map the evolution of structural inequality in these attributes over time globally and across several prominent states.
