E-grāmata: Globalization and International Organizations

In the context of today's ever-increasing globalization the traditional role of international organizations has changed in recent years from that of facilitator of the activities of their members, to that of director of their own activities. This collection brings together the best published work by leading authorities in the field on issues that are affected by this change of role, such as governance, control, accountability and the privileges of international organizations.

The last few years have witnessed several significant developments in respect of international organizations, most of which are best encapsulated in the word "change". In particular, international organizations have moved from their traditional role of facilitator of the activities of their members, to that of director of their own activities. As a result, there is increased scrutiny over issues relating to the governance, control, accountability and the privileges and immunities of international organizations. These subjects are all the focus of this book. Edward Kwakwa has collected together the best published work by leading authorities in the field on subjects of crucial importance and relevance to international organizations, particularly in the context of today's ever-increasing globalization. This book is of interest to scholars and students of law, as well as government and non-government practitioners and international civil servants.
