Research Handbook on International Bureaucracies (en Inglés) - Jarle Trondal

Leading scholars review a broad body of existing literature, outlining how the effectiveness of international bureaucracies is profoundly shaped by the capacity of international bureaucracies to operate independently of member-state governments. They illustrate the extent and restraints of bureaucracies’ autonomy, covering key theories including bureaucratic politics, public service bargains, institutionalism, organization theory, organizational learning and social constructivism. Ultimately, the Research Handbook advances theoretical and empirical research in the field while establishing agendas for future study.

This is a necessary read for scholars and students of politics and public policy, particularly those in the fields of regulation and governance and public administration and management.
