The OECD and Transnational Governance

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development is a much cited but little studied institution, and its role in international governance is poorly understood. Nevertheless, the OECD plays an important role in the emerging structure of global governance. Focusing upon the OECDs core functions, contributors to this volume trace the OECDs history, structure, and role in international governance as well as its function as a policy ideas generator and purveyor of best practices in a variety of economic and social policy domains.
