The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD) is one of the least written about and least understood of
our major global institutions. This new book builds a well-rounded
understanding of this crucial, though often neglected, institution,
with a range of clearly written chapters that:
- outline its origins and evolution, bringing its story fully
up-to-date
- present a clear framework for understanding the OECD
- set the institution within the broader context of global
governance
- outline key criticisms and debates
- evaluate its future prospects.
Given the immense challenges facing humanity at the start of the
21st century, the need for the OECD as a venue where the world 's
leading states can discuss, on an informal and ongoing basis, the
conundrums of globalization has never been greater. The clarity and
rigour of these chapters cut through the layers of misunderstanding
and misconception that surround the OECD, often dismissed as a
rich-man 's club, a think-tank and a consultative forum . This new
book dismantles these labels to provide a holistic understanding of
the organization.
This concise and accessible introduction is essential reading
for all students of international relations, politics and world
history and affairs.
