- More about Transforming International Institutions: How Money Quietly Sidelined Multilateralism at The United Nations
Transforming International Institutions explores how a slow, quiet, and subterranean process can produce big, radical change in international institutions and organizations. It highlights how early participants in a process who do not foresee the transformative potential of their acts enable subsequent actors to push change in new directions.

Transforming International Institutions delves into the captivating process of how a gradual, subtle, and underground movement can bring about significant and revolutionary changes in international institutions and organizations. By drawing upon historical institutionalism and employing interpretive tools of international law, Graham presents a novel theory of uncoordinated change over time. This insightful work highlights how early participants in a process, who may not initially perceive the transformative potential of their actions, nonetheless play a crucial role in enabling subsequent actors to propel change in unexpected directions, resulting in profound effects. Graham applies this theoretical framework to explain how changes in UN funding rules in the 1940s and 1960s, initially perceived as minor and aimed at resolving immediate political disagreements, ultimately marginalized multilateral governance at the United Nations in the twenty-first century. The perception of funding rules as tangential to the core principles of governance and the friendly orientation of change-initiators towards the UN facilitated this quiet transformation. Challenging the UN's reputation for rigidity and its portrayal as a bastion of egalitarian multilateralism, Transforming International Institutions showcases that the UN system is receptive to subtle change processes and that its egalitarian multilateralism governs only a fraction of its operational work.
