Celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2021, the Organisation for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is routinely heralded
as one of the leading organs of global governance, yet it remains
one of the least written about and least well understood of our
major global institutions. This fully revised and updated second
edition builds a well-rounded understanding of this crucial, though
often neglected, institution. A range of clearly written chapters
chart the origins and evolution of the organization, comprehend its
influence, examine its current agenda, and evaluate its future
prospects. Rather than the simplified characterizations of the OECD
as a “rich-country’s club” or “think tank,” this book
suggests that truly understanding the OECD and its significance to
global governance requires it to be conceived as the entity it
truly is: an international organization. New to this edition:
Outlines the OECD’s origins and evolution, bringing its story
fully up to date Considers the ‘OECD way’ of working, including
the peer review process Examines competing views of the OECD’s
influence over global governance Evaluates the OECD reform and the
organization’s future prospects This concise introduction
continues to be vital reading for all students of international
relations, politics and world history and affairs.
