Drawing on his extensive practical experience as an international civil servant in a number of organizations, Davies writes in a lively and readable manner about all aspects of administrative policy and its related implications. Divided into two parts, the first - Top down - will enable policy makers in government, academia and elsewhere who have an interest in the proper governance and management of international institutions to gain fresh insight into the topic. The second part - Bottom up - provides a substantial body of knowledge of administrations, including case studies of best and worse practice. The book includes analysis of: -The UN system -International Financial Institutions -Co-ordinated Organizations -Regional European Institutions -The Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research This is a work that fills a well-defined gap in organizational knowledge in a rigorous, but accessible way. It is essential reading for both practitioners and academics involved with international organizations.

Industry Reviews

'...thoroughly researched, even-handed and critical work...Mr Davies writes readable uncluttered prose...style is persuasive and impassioned...' The Association of Human Resources Management in International Organizations '...the book reads like a fascinating memoir or an extended interview with someone who has deep understanding and experience of his subject matter...an invaluable source of information and comparison in a much-neglected area of the field...it is a rare treat to get a view from an experienced practitioner so well-versed in the ways of other Mls [multilateral institutions].'
