International Organizations Revisited

<p> Despite the sustained scholarly attention that the United Nations and international NGOs have received in the twenty-first century they still remain under-researched from a management studies perspective. This volume brings together rich analyses of these organizations' functioning arguing that they are best understood as intermediaries between international decision-making and funding bodies in the developed world and initiatives that take place on the ground primarily in the Global South. Based on current management research this follow-up to <em>Rethinking International Organizations</em> (Berghahn 2002) provides a wealth of both empirical and theoretical insights along with practical recommendations how these organizations can function more effectively.</p>
