Virtually every important question of public policy today involves
an international organization. From trade to intellectual property
to health policy and beyond, governments interact with
international organizations in almost everything they do.
Increasingly, individual citizens are directly affected by the work
of international organizations. Aimed at academics, students,
practitioners, and lawyers, this book gives a comprehensive
overview of the world of international organizations today. It
emphasizes both the practical aspects of their organization and
operation, and the conceptual issues that arise at the junctures
between nation-states and international authority, and between law
and politics. While the focus is on inter-governmental
organizations, the book also encompasses non-governmental
organizations and public policy networks. With essays by the
leading scholars and practitioners, the book first considers the
main international organizations and the kinds of problems they
address. This includes chapters on the organizations that relate to
trade, humanitarian aid, peace operations, and more, as well as
chapters on the history of international organizations. The book
then looks at the constituent parts and internal functioning of
international organizations. This addresses the internal management
of the organization, and includes chapters on the distribution of
decision-making power within the organizations, the structure of
their assemblies, the role of Secretaries-General and other heads,
budgets and finance, and other elements of complex bureaucracies at
the international level. This book is essential reading for
scholars, practitioners, and students alike.
