This completely revised and rewritten handbook gives an overview of international organization (IO) as a dynamic field of research that adds to our understanding of global and regional relations and related domestic politics. Bringing together international scholars from a range of disciplines, it considers both IO as a process and multilateral organizations as institutions. This handbook is divided into five parts:
I. Documentation, sources and perspectives
II. International secretariats as bureaucracies
III. Actors within and beyond international bureaucracies
IV. Processes within and beyond international bureaucracies
V. Challenges to international organizations
Containing new chapters on topics such as the anthropological perspective, IO secretariats in several continents outside of Europe, feminization, the digital turn and challenges to IO legitimacy, the contributors reflect on the progression of IO studies from a burgeoning field to a well‑established subfield of international relations and the move away from scholarship based mainly in North‑Western Europe and the United States. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of IOs, global governance, diplomacy and foreign policy, as well as practitioners of multilateral cooperation.
'The first edition of this handbook quickly established itself as an essential resource for students and scholars of international relations alike. With this updated and expanded edition, Bob Reinalda and Marieke Louis set the bar even higher as they address current challenges to international governance and give even more pride of place to diverse disciplinary and regional perspectives on international organization. Highly recommended.'
Jens Steffek, Professor of Transnational Governance, TU Darmstadt, Germany
'Reinalda and Louis have contributed an essential and comprehensive Handbook of International Organization. It features contributions from a distinguished group of experts and includes a mix of essays on enduring topics as well as very timely and relevant essays. Topics covered range from crisis management and non-human threats to economic sanctions, financing, and diversity management. The work also examines international organization from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including international law, history, anthropology as well as public administration and international relations theory. Beyond this, the volume offers a broad overview of methodologies and data sources and delves deeply into the workings of international secretariats. A wonderful compilation that serves as a crucial resource for scholars, practitioners, and students of international organization alike.'
