'International Organizations as Orchestrators shows how both intergovernmental organizations and states can use intermediaries, and soft means, to attain their goals when hierarchy, delegation, and collaboration on equal terms are either infeasible or ineffective. Since its ideas are new and its arguments careful, this is one of the most important books on world politics to appear during the last several years.' Robert O. Keohane, Princeton University, New Jersey
