John G. Oates - Constituent Power and the Legitimacy of International Organizations: The Constitution of Supranationalism

This book has its origins in the dissertation I wrote at The Ohio State University, and though the book has evolved significantly beyond the arguments of the dissertation, I nevertheless owe a debt to those who helped me first develop some of the core commitments and intuitions that continue to shape my scholarship. Particular thanks are owed to my dissertation committee members, Alex Wendt, Jennifer Mitzen, and Alex Thompson, who encouraged me to think creatively about international organizations and supported the project in its early stages. I also benefited from the support of my fellow graduate students at OSU, especially Eric Grynaviski, Tim Luecke, Scott Powell, and Clement Wyplosz.

Most of the work on this book occurred while I was an assistant professor at Florida International University, and I am thankful for the stimulating and pluralistic intellectual environment of the Department of Politics and International Relations and the support and friendship of my departmental colleagues, especially Alex Barder, John Clark, Erin Damman, Kevin Evans, Harry Gould, Markus Thiel, and Susanne Zwingel. Thanks also to Christine Bianco, who provided excellent research assistance over the course of a year. The Morris and Anita Broad Research Fellowship Award also generously provided financial support for part of the research conducted for this book.

The manuscript benefitted from the assistance of a number of people who read and provided comments on various parts of the manuscript at different stages of its development, including Patrick T. Jackson, Mark Raymond, Lora Viola, and the anonymous reviewers at Routledge. Thanks are also due to the editors at Routledge, John Kirton and Robert Sorsby, who have been patient with and supportive of the project. Parts of Chapters 2 and 5 previously appeared in my article The Fourth Face of Legitimacy: Constituent Power and the Constitutional Legitimacy of International Institutions, published in Review of International Studies, Volume 43, Number 3. Parts of Chapter 2 previously appeared in my article When Delegation Fails: The Politics of Indivisible Sovereignty published in the Journal of International Relations and Development, Volume 22, Number 3. I thank the publishers for the permission to use this material here.

An immeasurable debt is owed to my wife, Diane, my daughter, Evelyn, and my son, Aiden, who have been a constant source of love, support, and needed distractions throughout the writing of this book. Much more than this book would not have been possible without their love and support. This book is dedicated to the memory of my father, Thomas R. Oates, whose curiosity about the world and his passion to explore it have shaped my own interest in world affairs in ways I am still discovering.
