dc.description.abstractOur chapter offers a conceptual contribution to the historiographical scholarship on development and international organisations (IOs). We put on the agenda the conception of a reality that has not yet been fully seen, and the historical manifestations of which have not yet been critically explored. This reality is one in which development is not a policy practice or idea that is shaped by international organisations – which act as political agents who do something or serve as spaces and tools for (other) political agents to do something – but in which development is a post-World War II discourse¹ that shapes international organizations. This relationship between development and IOs is a dynamic worth acknowledging and exploring because, first, IOs are not ahistorical; they change and look different at different moments in time. Capturing diachronic changes in IOs generally adds to our understanding of twentieth century international order. Second, in particular, how IOs change and how they look in different historical contexts matters because they are catalysts of a particular kind of knowledge; we call this knowledge “international economic thinking.” International economic thinking plays a significant role in the construction of twentieth century international economic order. Consequently, the conception of reality that we introduce here points the scholarly view to a dynamic which is politically significant. At its heart are, on the one side, IOs as historical catalysts of international economic thinking which, in turn, feeds into the construction of twentieth century international economic order, and, on the other side, development as a discourse that shapes IOs.en
