Through a collection of insightful case studies from international scholars, this first source-based volume offers a nuanced understanding of the Organization's core activities and its intricate relationships with member states, other international bodies, and private networks. It critically re-examines postwar international history, including decolonization and the Cold War, through the lens of this influential international organization. Product Summary: This hardcover book, written by Matthieu Leimgruber and Matthias Schmelzer, provides an in-depth historical analysis of the OECD and its impact on international political economy. Featuring 3 b/w illustrations and 363 pages, it offers a unique perspective on postwar global governance.
