Reviews

'This book is a tour de force. It helps us understand international organisations and their member states. It casts fresh light on the OECD. It reveals how middle powers like Australia manoeuvre on the world stage, and it traces the evolution of key global public policies, from taxation to the environment. It does this seamlessly, with grace and economy, drawing on rich archival materials (from the UK, the US, Australia and the OECD), and extensive interviews.' -- Leslie A. Pal, Carleton University, Canada
