'A highly commendable book for students and researchers alike, as it provides a systematically theory-driven analysis of a topic that has been under-researched until today, but that deserves the attention that it gets in this work. Indeed, the book shows why and when the role of chairs should not be underestimated in the U.N. and potentially beyond.' - Bart Kerremans, Professor of International Relations, University of Leuven, Belgium 'This is a welcome and important study of chairs' involvement in the UN negotiation processes. It is especially relevant for an era where multilateralism has thankfully proven to be in the ascendancy once again.' - Oliver Richmond, Professor of International Relations, University of St Andrews, UK 'How multilateral negotiations within in international organizations are chaired is an important, yet neglected, topic. Blavoukos and Bourantonis have provided a great service for scholars and practitioners of diplomacy and international relations with this thoughtful and comprehensive investigation of how the chair performs in a variety of cases taken from the UN.' - Paul Sharp, Professor of Political Science, University of Minnesota, Duluth, USA
