Oxford Handbooks: The Oxford Handbook of International Organizations

En savoir plus sur le livre

Virtually every significant public policy question today involves an international organization, impacting areas from trade to health policy. Governments engage with these organizations in nearly all their activities, and individual citizens increasingly feel the effects of their work. This book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary international organizations, targeting academics, students, practitioners, and lawyers. It highlights both practical organizational aspects and the conceptual challenges at the intersection of nation-states and international authority, as well as law and politics. While primarily focusing on inter-governmental organizations, it also covers non-governmental organizations and public policy networks. Contributions from leading scholars and practitioners explore key international organizations and the issues they tackle, including trade, humanitarian aid, and peace operations, alongside historical perspectives. The book examines the internal functioning of these organizations, addressing management, decision-making power distribution, assembly structures, the roles of Secretaries-General and heads, budgets, and the complexities of international bureaucracies. This work is essential for scholars, practitioners, and students alike.
