This volume brings together rich analyses of these organizations’ functioning, arguing that they are best understood as intermediaries between international decision-making and funding bodies in the developed world and initiatives that take place on the ground, primarily in the Global South. Based on current management research, this follow-up to Rethinking International Organizations (Berghahn, 2002) provides a wealth of both empirical and theoretical insights, along with practical recommendations how these organizations can function more effectively UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781800731233?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781800731233 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781800731233/original ER -
