Description: Middle Powers and International Organisations : Australia and the Oecd, Hardcover by Kellow, Aynsley; Carroll, Peter, ISBN 1788110633, ISBN-13 9781788110631, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book provides a unique examination of how a middle power uses international organisations to achieve greater global influence.
The authors focus on the OECD, the rich mans club of most of the worlds wealthiest nations. It demonstrates how the decision by Australia to apply for membership was a long drawn out process, delayed by political factors. Eventually agreement was reached with assurances that membership would provide access to valuable and timely policy-related information, especially in relation to international trade and finance. In addition, membership would potentially increase influence by providing greater access to its powerful member states at an earlier stage in their policy discussions and agreements. On gaining membership, Australia found that the OECDs comparative research and policy development activities, across a wide range of areas and issues, were a valuable source for policy learning which, in turn, helped the ongoing maintenance and further building of policy capacity in the country.
This detailed study of how a nation state engages with an international organisation will be a great source of insight and information for scholars and advanced students of international relations and public policy. It will also be a valuable resource for policymakers and practitioners working in the field.
