As the demand and necessity for greater international and transnational cooperation increase, the bureaucratic bodies of international organizations are receiving ever more scholarly attention. However, the relevance of International Public Administrations (IPAs) for global policy-making remains neither empirically nor theoretically well understood, and yet little systematic knowledge is available about the influence international bureaucracies may have on policy-making. What makes international bureaucracies influential? Are the sources of their influence on policy-making comparable to that of national public administrations? Is there a need to reflect on other factors than known from the analysis of national bureaucracies or for re-assessing the impact of traditional factors of influence in multilevel constellations? Is there a systematic link between intra-organizational structures and the behavior of the personnel of international bureaucracies and the policy output of their organizations? What are the effects of international bureaucracies’ role for particular policies or policy constellations? The different contributions in this volume address these questions from different conceptual perspectives and focus on different tools of administrative governance.

This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.

This re-publication combimes the SSPCK Gaelic Bible and the translation of the Apocrypha in a single lectern bible edition.

It has been edited with a light hand, including fixing of typos and adjustment of some very archaic words and spellings (for example sè sia, faghail faotuinn, a ta a tha) and some of the internally irregular spellings contained in the original publications have been aligned and accents have been put on capital letters

Otherwise, this edition is largely faithful to the originals.

The five volumes of the Waifs and Strays of Celtic Tradition are an important collection of tales, stories and legends from Argyll that were first published between 1889 and 1895.

The first volume was edited by Lord Archibald Campbell, the son of the 8th Duke of Argyll, who was also the first president of the Comunn Gaidhealach. In addition to the Craignish Tales and several other stories in both Gaelic and English it also includes Campbell''s Notes on the War Dress of the Celts.

This revised series has been professionally edited and the Gaelic corrected in accordance with modem orthography.
