Overview

Astounding, but true...the newest edition of International Organizations surpasses its predecessors! The fourth edition of this award-winning text has been thoroughly revised and updated to capture nearly a decade of new developments affecting global governance: the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the rise of populist nationalism, implementation of the SDGs, the youth climate-justice movement, and much more. There is also an entirely new chapter on human security.As before, the authors provide a comprehensive, in-depth examination of the full range of international organizations.
