Partnerships in International Policy-Making

Raffaele Marchetti is Senior Assistant Professor in International Relations at LUISS, Rome, Italy, and is an expert on global governance, international public policies, NGOs, and peacebuilding. Among his publications are The Rules of the Global Political Game; Cooperation and Competition between Governments and NGOs; Global Democracy; Civil Society, Ethnic Conflicts, and the Politicization of Human Rights; Conflict Society and Peacebuilding.

“Marchetti considers more descriptively how modern foreign policy, particularly in areas such as the promotion of democracy and human rights, is increasingly being wielded by proxy through engagement with civil society. Such interactions, he concludes, provide opportunities and risks and it is as well to be aware of both. … a fascinating collection of analyses.” (Martin Westlake, European Political Science, June, 2017)
