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.
