Knowledge Production, Power and Global Social ChangeThe objective of this research project, primarily funded by the Academy of Finland, is to increase our knowledge about the role of the OECD in affecting global social change. We study the OECD as one of the IGOs, whose role as actors in the global networks of power directing socio-economic development is seldom based on clearly defined rules or undisputed hierarchies. Rather, their impact is based on an ability to produce forms of knowledge that frame social reality and are used in various ways at the national level to justify or criticize local politics and policies, thus also establishing new policies and practices. In other words, we study the OECD as an intersection between multilateral relations and nation states.
