Regional Actors in Multilateral Negotiations: Active and Successful?
About this ebook
Based on a quantitative analysis of more than 500 international negotiations and three in-depth case studies, the book not only explains why some regional actors are more vocal than others in international organisations, but also why they differ concerning their prospects for success.
