This is the third of five ambitious volumes theorizing the
structure of governance above and below the central state. This
book is written for those interested in the character, causes, and
consequences of governance within the state. This book sets out a
measure of authority for seventy-six international organizations
(IOs) from 1950, or the time of their establishment, to 2010 which
can allow researchers to test expectations about the character,
sources, and consequences of international governance. The
international organizations considered are regional (e.g. the EU,
Andean Community, NAFTA), cross-regional (e.g. Commonwealth of
Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation), and global (e.g.
the UN, World Bank, WTO). Firstly, the book introduces carefully
constructed estimates for the scope and depth of authority
exercised by international governments. The estimates are unique in
their comparative scope, their specificity, and time span.
Secondly, it describes describe broad trends in IO authority by
comparing delegation and pooling, over time, across IOs, and across
decision areas. Thirdly, it presents the evidence gathered by the
authors to estimate international authority by carefully discussing
forty-seven international organizations, and showing how their
bodies are composed, what decisions each body makes, and how they
make decisions. Transformations in Governance is a major new
academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed
to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative
politics, international relations, public policy, federalism,
environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of
authority from central states up to supranational institutions,
down to subnational governments, and side-ways to public-private
networks. It brings together work that significantly advances our
understanding of the organization, causes, and consequences of
multilevel and complex governance. The series is selective,
containing annually a small number of books of exceptionally high
quality by leading and emerging scholars. The series targets mainly
single-authored or co-authored work, but it is pluralistic in terms
of disciplinary specialization, research design, method, and
geographical scope. Case studies as well as comparative studies,
historical as well as contemporary studies, and studies with a
national, regional, or international focus are all central to its
aims. Authors use qualitative, quantitative, formal modeling, or
mixed methods. A trade mark of the books is that they combine
scholarly rigour with readable prose and an attractive production
style. The series is edited by Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks of the
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Walter Mattli of the
University of Oxford.
