International Organizations as Orchestrators reveals how international organizations (IOs) leverage their limited authority and resources to increase their effectiveness, power, and autonomy from states. By "orchestrating" intermediaries - including non-governmental organizations (NGOs) - IOs can shape and steer global governance without engaging in hard, direct regulation. This volume is organized around a theoretical model that emphasizes voluntary collaboration and support. An outstanding group of scholars investigate the significance of orchestration across key issue areas, including trade, finance, environment, and labor, and in leading organizations, including the Global Environment Facility (GEF), G20, World Trade Organization (WTO), European Union (EU), Kimberley Process, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the International Labor Organization (ILO). The empirical studies find that orchestration is pervasive. They broadly confirm the theoretical hypothesis while providing important new insights, especially that states often welcome IO orchestration as achieving governance without creating strong institutions. This volume changes our understanding of the relationships among IOs, non-state actors, and states in global governance, using a theoretical framework applicable to domestic governance. -- from back cover.
