Opis

Why are non-state actors (NSAs) sometimes granted participation rights in international organisations and what influences the decision? This work presents the case that non-state actors have lobbied for formal participation roles in international organisations since at least the formation of the United Nations system but formal upstream participation roles are uncommon.

Recenzje

This work is part of Routledge’s impressive "Global Institutions" series.  Ruhlman (Towson Univ.) examines the role of non-state actors (NSAs) within international organizations.  Because the constituent, dues-paying members of international organizations are generally nation-states, readers might question whether NSAs play any meaningful role within them at all, although some observers see a declining role for traditional nation-states. --M.
