Cambridge studies in comparative public policy
Content:
"This book was inspired by the idea that in order to better understand international organizations' agency, we need to re-direct our attention from their formal characteristics and exceptional achievements or failures to the ordinary, informal workings of their staff. Much ink has been spilled on international public administrations' role in shaping various extraordinary events and policy outputs. Yet, we can learn a lot about (international) organizations by examining their staffers' actions not in critical moments but in their daily work. Likewise, formal characteristics alone fail to capture the deeper running, less easily quantifiable intricacies of international organizations. There is simply more to international public administrations than single indicators can tell us"--
