Edwards, Paul N. (Author)
This chapter explores the history of a global governance institution, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), from its nineteenth-century origins through the beginnings of a planetary meteorological observing network, the WMO's World Weather Watch (WWW), in the 1960s. This history illustrates a profoundly important transition from voluntarist internationalism, based on shared interests, to quasi-obligatory globalism, based on a more permanent shared infrastructure. The WMO and the WWW thus represent infrastructural globalism, by which "the world" as a whole is produced and maintained (as both object of knowledge and unified arena of human action) through global infrastructures.
