SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Networks are thriving in global politics. Some bring policy-makers from different countries together to share problems and to forge possible solutions, free from rules of representation, decision-making, and transparency which constrain more formal international organizations. This book asks whether developing countries can benefit from such networks? Or are they safer to conduct their international relations in formal institutions? The answer varies. The key lies in how the networkis structured and what it sets out to achieve. This book presents a fascinating account of how some networks have.
