Written by one of the world's leading academics in the field of the
law of international organizations, this book provides what it
claims to offer. It is an introduction as it gives in a nutshell an
easy-to-read general overview. It is advanced in the sense that it
is written on the basis of profound knowledge of the field, and it
has an excellent bibliography for those who want more. Like
Rembrandt in his later works, Jan Klabbers is painting with broad
strokes, in his own style, providing those who are not experts in
the field a modern framework for better understanding international
organizations and their law.' - Niels Blokker, Leiden University,
the Netherlands'International organizations are a major factor in
world affairs and in all areas of human collaboration. This book is
a valuable resource next to existing textbooks and treatises on
international institutional law. It offers a concise and engaging
account of the role of international organisations and, in clear
language, sets out what is the legal framework for their manifold
activities and political operations. Great reading, and the
essential introduction to international organisations as political
and legal actors in the world today.' - Catherine Broelmann,
University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands 'This book offers far more
than an introduction - even an advanced one. It is an essential
tool for the understanding of, and further research on,
international organizations. It is full of insight and original
analysis.' - Marc Weller, University of Cambridge and Lauterpacht
Centre for International Law, UK 'This book provides an excellent
introduction to the law of international organizations, with a
succinct and up-to-date analysis of the law. It is a very welcome
addition to the literature on the subject and is by an established
author in the field. It places the law in a wider political
context, making it an interesting book for readers interested in
both international law and international relations. The content and
the style of presentation make the book accessible for readers at
both introductory and advanced level.' - Surya Subedi, University
of Leeds, UK and the UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in
Cambodia Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and
thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences and
law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to

the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. This highly readable introduction gives a nuanced overview
of the legal mechanisms behind the operation of international
organizations such as the UN, the EU and the World Bank. It offers
perceptive insights by placing the law of international
organizations in a political context and presents a systematic
discussion of a variety of relevant legal notions, ranging from the
powers of international organizations to mechanisms of
accountability. Written by a leading authority on the topic, it
provides a concise and accessible examination of this developing
facet of international law. Key features include: - Well-written
and clearly organized arguments - Up-to-date with the latest
developments - A focus on the bigger picture, rather than any one
detail - Discusses law in a global context.
