Essential for anybody who wants to use UIA data, as it is the
deepest and clearest reference, introducing the organisation and
its publications. At the same time, the book is an interesting read
for anyone dealing with the international system ... In the
different chapters, the authors show great knowledge of the subject
they are handling, providing a series of well-known essential
references along with more refined publications that are less
known, but valuable indeed. It is surely a book that deserves a
wide outreach.
*Global Policy*
International Organizations and Global Civil Society is a welcome
addition to the growing literature on the history of international
organizations. Well-written, deeply researched and insightful, it
demonstrates the significance of the Union of International
Associations to international historians, international relations
scholars and information studies specialists.
*Daniel Gorman, Professor of History, University of Waterloo,
Canada*
This volume sheds new light on the history of international
cooperation in the 20th century. Breaking out of the mould of
narrow institutional histories, the authors bring the UIA to life
as a crucial element of the infrastructure of Brussels-centred
internationalism, and one which provided the scaffolding for many
international ventures.
