The third edition of this popular core textbook provides
wide-ranging coverage of the structure, internal working, policies
and performance of international organizations such as the UN, EU,
IMF and World Bank. Such organizations have never been so important
in addressing the challenges that face our increasingly globalised
world. This book introduces students to theories with which to
approach international organizations, their history, and their
ability to respond to contemporary issues in world politics from
nuclear disarmament, climate change and human rights protection, to
trade, monetary and financial relations, and international
development. Underpinning the text is the authors' unique model
that views international organizations as actual organizations.
Reacting to world events, political actors provide the 'inputs'
which are converted by the political systems of these organizations
(through various decision-making procedures) into 'outputs' that
achieve varying levels of real-world impact and effectiveness. This
is the perfect text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of
politics and international relations taking courses on
International organization and global governance, as well as
essential reading for those studying the UN, the EU and
Globalization. New to this Edition: - Draws on the most recent
research in the field and considers some of the significant world
events of the last decade to ensure that the book is completely up
to date. - Two separate chapters considering Trade and Development,
and Finance and Monetary Relations respectively. - Fully accounts
for the challenges to international organizations by the emerging
powers, the Trump administration and Brexit
The history of international relations has been shaped by a
sequence of 'Great Debates', in which leading scholars of the field
advanced, challenged, and defended views about the assumptions that
should inform the study of world politics. In this authoritative
collection, the editors bring together for the first time the most
important contributions to these inspiring intellectual exchanges
and provide an excellent overview of the discipline's development
since its inception in the early 20th century. Students and
scholars in international relations as well as neighboring
disciplines will find these volumes to be an indispensable and
highly informative source of reference.
Internationale Organisationen mit globaler oder regionaler
Reichweite (z.B. UN, IWF, Weltbank, WTO, EU) spielen eine zunehmend
wichtige Rolle bei der Schaffung und Implementierung von
internationalen Normen und Regeln, mithin bei Global Governance.
Die Sicherheit, das oekonomische Wohlergehen, der Schutz der
Menschenrechte und die oekologischen Lebensbedingungen von Menschen
weltweit werden von der Fahigkeit bzw. Unfahigkeit internationaler
Organisationen, Kooperation und Regieren jenseits des
Nationalstaates moeglich zu machen und zu stabilisieren,
beeinflusst. Das Lehrbuch will die Leserin bzw. den Leser daher
theoretisch informiert und empirisch fundiert mit den
Entstehungsbedingungen, der Entwicklung, Funktionsweise und den
Tatigkeiten internationaler Organisationen vertraut machen. Es
fuhrt in die wichtigsten Theorien uber internationale
Organisationen ein und bietet einen historischen UEberblick uber
internationale Organisationen in verschiedenen Politikfeldern. Das
Lehrbuch analysiert ferner die Akteure, Strukturen und Prozesse,
die die Entscheidungsfindung in internationalen Organisationen
pragen. Schliesslich werden die Tatigkeiten eines breiten Spektrums
internationaler Organisationen und deren Beitrag zur kooperativen
Bearbeitung grenzuberschreitender Probleme in den Sachbereichen
"Sicherheit", "Wirtschaft", "Umwelt" und "Menschenrechte"
untersucht.
The Governor's Dilemma develops a general theory of indirect
governance based on the tradeoff between governor control and
intermediary competence; the empirical chapters apply that theory
to a diverse range of cases encompassing both international
relations and comparative politics. The theoretical framework paper
starts from the observation that virtually all governance is
indirect, carried out through intermediaries. But governors in
indirect governance relationships face a dilemma: competent
intermediaries gain power from the competencies they contribute,
making them difficult to control, while efforts to control
intermediary behavor limit important intermediary competencies,
including expertise, credibility, and legitimacy. Thus, governors
can obtain either high intermediary competence or strong control,
but not both. This competence-control tradeoff is a common
condition of indirect governance, whether governors are domestic or
international, public or private, democratic or authoritarian; and
whether governance addresses economic, security, or social issues.
The empirical chapters analyze the operation and implications of
the governor's dilemma in cases involving the governance of
violence (e.g., secret police, support for foreign rebel groups,
private security companies), the governance of markets (e.g., the
Euro crisis, capital markets, EU regulation, the G20), and
cross-cutting governance issues (colonial empires, "Trump's
Dilemma"). Competence-control theory helps explain many features of
governance that other theories cannot: why indirect governance is
not limited to principal-agent delegation, but takes multiple
forms; why governors create seemingly counter-productive
intermediary relationships; and why indirect governance is
frequently unstable over time.

International Organizations as Orchestrators reveals how IOs
leverage their limited authority and resources to increase their
effectiveness, power, and autonomy from states. By 'orchestrating'
intermediaries - including NGOs - IOs can shape and steer global
governance without engaging in hard, direct regulation. This volume
is organized around a theoretical model that emphasizes voluntary
collaboration and support. An outstanding group of scholars
investigate the significance of orchestration across key issue
areas, including trade, finance, environment and labor, and in
leading organizations, including the GEF, G20, WTO, EU, Kimberley
Process, UNEP and ILO. The empirical studies find that
orchestration is pervasive. They broadly confirm the theoretical
hypotheses while providing important new insights, especially that
states often welcome IO orchestration as achieving governance
without creating strong institutions. This volume changes our
understanding of the relationships among IOs, nonstate actors and
states in global governance, using a theoretical framework
applicable to domestic governance.
