Abstract

This chapter presents a framework for understanding the history of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and its predecessor, the Organization for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC), from 1948 to the present. We start by introducing the Organizations’ three key modes of governance. The main part of the chapter proposes a periodization linking mandates of successive Secretary-Generals with deeper transformations of the organization’s set up, tasks, and overall outlook. The conclusion discusses the OECD as a (geo)political platform, as an expert think tank, and as an identity-generating club.
