The multiple inputs of this book open exciting research opportunities and offer food for thought to all the students, researchers and practitioners who consider international organizations as a major phenomenon in contemporary international relations.

A very international set of authors provide overviews of and insights into many major lines of IO research in essays that will be useful for students and scholars alike. Among the pathbreaking essays are "IOs and the Idea of Equality," "IOs and Crisis Management," and "Learning in IOs." Margaret P. Karns, Professor Emerita of Political Science, University of Dayton, USA. Reinalda's Handbook of International Organization gives an excellent overview of the field.
