Few organisations are beset with as many popular assumptions about it around the world than the United Nations. The very notion of global governance evokes a wide range of opinions, and since 2003, this range has grown even wider"" with questions of its very relevance arising in some parts of the intellectual world. In this volume, International Commissions and the Power of Ideas, the editors bring together several perspectives on the current state of global cooperation on several issues. To what extent are these commissions susceptible to domestic political forces? Is an international intelligentsia emerging that could effect change? Does a "global idea" hold any agenda-setting meaning? If these questions bother you, try this book.
