Once the exclusive preserve of member states, international
organizations have become increasingly open in recent decades. Now
virtually all international organizations at some level involve
NGOs, business actors and scientific experts in policy-making. This
book offers the first systematic and comprehensive analysis of this
development. Combining statistical analysis and in-depth case
studies, it maps and explains the openness of international
organizations across issue areas, policy functions and world
regions from 1950 to 2010. Addressing the question of where, how
and why international organizations offer transnational actors
access to global policy-making, this book has implications for
critical issues in world politics. When do states share authority
with private actors? What drives the design of international
organizations? How do activists and businesses influence global
politics? Is civil society involvement a solution to democratic
deficits in global governance?
International courts and tribunals now operate globally and in
several world regions, playing significant roles in international
law and global governance. However, these courts vary significantly
in terms of their practices, procedures, and the outcomes they
produce. Why do some international courts perform better than
others? Which factors affect the outcome of these courts and
tribunals? The Performance of International Courts and Tribunals is
an interdisciplinary study featuring approaches, methods and
authorship from law and political science, which proposes the
concept of performance to describe the processes and outcomes of
international courts. It develops a framework for evaluating and
explaining performance by offering a broad comparative analysis of
international courts, covering several world regions and the areas
of trade, investment, the environment, human rights and criminal
law, and offers interdisciplinary accounts to explain how and why
international court performance varies.
