metadata.value: The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a well-known standard setting organization
  in the world of work. With its standards the ILO has created an epistemic community for labour
  law and social security law. Central to this paper though is the question whether the ILO
  is also an epistemic authority or even an epistemic power. To assess this, the main activities of
  the ILO are described in this paper. These include, besides setting standards and the regular
  and special supervisory mechanism, also the ILO’s technical cooperation activities, training
  activities and services, research, debates, and exchanges of information. These activities are
  described against the background of the idea of discursive diffusion, which could be typified
  as governance technique to influence the policies or behaviour of the members of an epistemic
  community. From this an image emerges from the ILO as an international organization which
  can definitely be qualified as an epistemic authority, and even holds some traces of epistemic
  power. However, most of the activities that could make up for the ILO’s epistemic power are
  executed in the ILO’s field offices. Unfortunately, hardly anything is known about how the ILO
  field offices operate and therefore to what extend and how they make use of the tools that provide
  them with epistemic power. To understand this, further research is needed, preferably in
  the context of new governance and with the application of empirical legal research methods.
