Inter-Organizational Relations and World Order

Within international relations scholarship, the nature of international organizations and their relationship with each other and nation-states has been widely contested. This edited volume brings together a team of experts to shed new light on inter-organizational relations in world politics.

The book covers areas from the rule of law and international security to business and sport. Through its analysis, it demonstrates that, just as inter-organizational relations themselves are diverse and complex, research on this topic should also be pluralistic in order to draw new and valuable results and insights.

“In this book, Franke and Koch, with colleagues, continue the revolution of integrating organizational studies into international studies. This welcomed volume broadens the scholarly treatment of international relations, beyond states, by considering the capabilities and limitations of a myriad of other organizational actors shaping those relationships.” Steven R. Brechin, Rutgers University

"Moving beyond the canon and covering issues from the fight against terrorism to the governance of world sports, this rich and innovative volume helps us understand how global order is made and re-made." Klaus Dingwerth, University of St. Gallen

“This important book opens up several fascinating new theoretical and empirical perspectives that can explain how a world order is created through inter-organizational relations.” Göran Ahrne, Stockholm University
