About this book
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 OECD’s core functions, contributors to this volume trace the OECD’s 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.

Reviews
Kerstin Jacobsson, co-editor of Learning to be Employable: New Agendas on Work, Responsibility, and Learning in a Globalizing World:
A welcome and original addition to the surprisingly scarce published literature on the OECD. Mahon and McBride’s volume covers a broad range of policy areas, as well as encompassing an historical perspective. It is also up to date on recent developments and will be very useful to scholars of international relations, public policy, and global governance.

Robert O’Brien, co-editor of Global Social Policy:
The OECD and Transnational Governance is a remarkable book for two reasons. First, it is an important contribution to debates about global governance and the place of advice-dispensing institutions such as the OECD. Second, it provides a thorough and critical analysis of a large number of policy sectors of this key institution. Its range makes it a very thorough and valuable collection.
