International organizations by Pease provides a basic overview of how and which organizations change world politics through a variety of theoretical lenses. The four lenses taken are realism, liberalism, Marxism and when applicable feminism. The organizations and issues vary widely and after the United Nations and European Union it breaks down more by a topical formant such as security, environment and so forth. Overall while a basic introduction it does provide a useful starting point for looking at the role international organizations play and critically viewing it through the differ theories provided. If anything more in depth look through the theoretical lenses would be valuable as the information provided on each IO is very good and perfect for an overview like this. For those starting out with international organizations and their role in the world this is a good place to start.

I read this for my class on International Organization and it was quite detailed and long to read.

One down, five to go. Heb de VN observers al uit mijn land gestuurd, want hier wordt gebouwd aan een academisch wapen van massa vernieling!!!
Saai boek dit. Veel herhaling, veel geyap, was doorzetten om tot het einde te geraken. Heb wel interessante inzichten opgedaan over de proxy oorlogen in het Midden Oosten en Noord/ Oost Afrika. Dus niet geheel nutteloze lectuur.

This is literally my second book in International Organization subject after my Clive Archer's. It's broadening the actors and scope of international organization in accordance to Global Governance conception. It's very good for me to be second sequenced reading after the more fundamental one by Archer.

Read for a class. This book would be better employed as a reference than as a reading textbook. It is dry, intricately detailed, and written for a specialist. It wasn't un-informative, but getting information from it was a drag.
