Understanding the strength, boundaries, and impacts of international organizations is becoming more and more important as their role in world affairs grows. This renowned textbook, now in its fourth edition, offers the comprehensive introduction to current international organizations, covering everything from their founding legal charters to the problems they face today. Hurd blends legal, empirical, and theoretical techniques in an understandable and well-rounded package in his analysis of the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the International Criminal Court, and ten other important international institutions. This most recent edition, which has been completely edited and updated, contains current cases and issues involving international organizations, including those concerning the Brexit, trade wars, environmentalism, forced migration, and border disputes. Students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs studying global governance, international law, international institutions, and international organizations will find it interesting.
