Drawing on historical institutionalism and interpretive tools of international law, Graham provides a novel theory of uncoordinated change over time. It highlights how early participants in a process who do not foresee the transformative potential of their acts, but nonetheless enable subsequent actors to push change in new directions to profound effect. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGraham deploys this to explain how changes in UN funding rules in the 1940s and 1960sâ€\"perceived as small and made to solve immediate political disagreementsâ€\"ultimately sidelined multilateral governance at the United Nations in the twenty-first century. The perception of funding rules as marginal to fundamental principles of governance, and the friendly orientation of change-initiators toward the UN, enabled this quiet transformation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChallenging the UN's reputation for rigidity and its status as a bastion of egalitarian multilateralism, \u003cem\u003eTransforming International Institutions\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates that the UN system is susceptible to subtle change processes and that its egalitarian multilateralism governs only a fraction of the UN's operational work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin R.
