International economic organizations

The study of international organisations can be done from different scientific disciplines. Each of these disciplines then highlights specific characteristics or elements of international organisations. The problem with such an approach is that certain elements are lost from view, because the communication between the disciplines is often limited. In this book an attempt is made to partly solve this problem. An economist and a political scientist have each approached different international organisations from their institutional, their economic and their political dimensions from their own perspective and in mutual communication. In this way they hope that a more complete and colourful picture of these organisations will be obtained than would have been possible if they had been analysed separately and independently from the economics or political science.
