“International Organization and Global Governance is an excellent one-stop resource that simultaneously offers a thorough and broad theoretical understanding and empirical insight into a wide array of important issue areas in international relations It has been an indispensable core text book in my course on global governance for years, and has been highly valued by the students for its clarity and ability to explain complex matters This second edition provides up-to-date insights into the rapidly evolving field.” —Benedicte Bull, University of Oslo “International Organization and Global Governance is remarkable not just for the breadth and depth of its coverage, but for its ability to stretch our understandings of both organization and governance It covers classic theories and established institutions (such as the UN and regional organizations) while illuminating the sometimes obscure powers of nongovernmental and “private” entities (ranging from human rights groups to bond rating agencies) This is an indispensable resource for the field.” —Michael Doyle, Columbia University “An indispensable resource for any student of contemporary global affairs This latest edition of a now-classic volume balances breadth of coverage with conceptual depth and sophisticated analysis The editors here have assembled a top-notch team to write an outstanding collection of insightful, accessible essays that span the enormous range of challenges and changes in global governance today.” —Martha Finnemore, George Washington University “The onset of globalization has led to dramatic shifts in the way the world is organized, with the emergence of new actors, rules, and structures Weiss and Wilkinson have assembled a wonderful team of authors that allows a reader to navigate the new twenty-first century landscape of global governance Conceptually rich and thematically comprehensive, the articles go beyond boilerplates to see the politics that are shaping this new landscape.” —Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, The New School “Never before has a book so comprehensively and rigorously appraised the complex human condition under contemporary world order This epic 54-chapter volume invites leading experts to grapple with the challenges and opportunities for making international organization and global governance fit-for-purpose If you seek to inspire your students to be critically minded difference-makers in the world, this is essential reading.” —Erin Hannah, University of Western Ontario “Motivated by an acute awareness of both the failure and successes of global governance, this comprehensive volume explores the place of international organizations in contemporary world order With essays from leading writers on international affairs, it covers an impressive breadth of topics with nuance and sensitivity, from refugees to public health to global corporations It deserves to be required reading for students and scholars of international politics.” —Ian Hurd, Northwestern University “The first edition of this volume was a landmark so this second, much-updated volume is most welcome The editors and authors are all leading authorities on their topics Highly recommended.” —David Malone, UN University, Tokyo “Weiss and Wilkinson have comprised another comprehensive and cutting-edge collection of essays on international organizations and global governance This outstanding volume will quickly become—once again—a standard reference for understanding world politics in contemporary times.” —Susanne Soederberg, Queen’s University “In a fracturing world, international cooperation is looking fragile This book provides a useful overview of how international organizations can help, where they fail, and with what consequences.” —Ngaire Woods, University of Oxford Praise for the First Edition “International Organization and Global Governance should have a place on any international relations scholar’s shelf In addition to its sheer comprehensiveness as a reference work, it takes the crucial conceptual leap of focusing not on organizations, institutions, regimes, or any other piece of international order, but instead on the presence or absence of actual governance: the successful exercise of power to achieve outcomes As one important chapter asks, who are the actual governors of the international system? The answers, with respect to many areas of international life, are surprising.” —Anne-Marie Slaughter, Princeton University “It is impossible to understand global governance without recognizing the important roles played by international organizations and non-state actors This volume brings together cutting edge work by experts in their various fields to synthesize actor based and issue based insights about global governance.” —Peter M Haas, University of Massachusetts Amherst “A comprehensive survey of the theory and practice of global governance in the modern world Comprised of outstanding essays by acknowledged experts and filled with important insights, International Organization and Global Governance is essential reading for scholars and students as well as practitioners.” —David A Lake, University of California, San Diego “Never before has a book demonstrated so systematically that ‘global governance’ offers a useful lens to analyze world politics Extraordinarily comprehensive, it will become a vital reference for academics and practitioners.” —Jean-Philippe Thérien, Université de Montréal “This volume brings together contributions from an outstanding group of scholars It is an indispensable guide for understanding the full range of contemporary challenges of global governance and international organizations, from a variety of perspectives.” —Keith Krause, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva “This comprehensive collection, which includes contributions from many of the leading figures in the field, is sure to be the principal reference work on international organizations and global governance for many years to come.” —John Ravenhill, Australian National University “Weiss and Wilkinson have assembled a magnificent set of chapters from leading scholars that simultaneously provides a tour de force of international organizations and a clear guide to conceptualizing and understanding global governance This persuasive account of the history, power and authority of international organizations should be required reading for all students, professors and practitioners of global governance and international relations.” —Catherine Weaver, The University of Texas at Austin “A tour de force This meticulously conceived textbook on global governance and international organizations with essays by some of the world’s finest experts will be a classic for scholars and practitioners from day 1.” —Jan Wouters, Director of the Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies, KU Leuven “Kofi Annan was right: we are creating a global village Hence, the need for stronger global village councils becomes more pressing day by day Despite this, few understand how spectacularly global governance—in all its manifestations—has grown and why it needs to keep growing to keep the world safe Weiss and Wilkinson have done us a remarkable service by producing this volume now: it provides an indispensable guide to the fastest growing global industry And it will be read and studied for several decades as the world continues to converge.” —Kishore Mahbubani, National University of Singapore “The fifty chapters in this book, written by scholars from around the world, provide a comprehensive overview of the expanding agenda and participation in global governance All readers will become aware of how they are involved in global governance, and how they might respond.” —Chadwick F Alger, Ohio State University “The reach and scope of this collection renders it invaluable for situating the study of international organizations in the broader field of IR.” —Thomas Biersteker, The Graduate Institute, Geneva I NTERNATIONAL O RGANIZATION AND G LOBAL G OVERNANCE Second Edition Q Edited by Thomas G Weiss and Rorden Wilkinson Second edition published 2018 by Routledge Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN and by Routledge 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business © 2018 selection and editorial matter, Thomas G Weiss and Rorden Wilkinson;
