"To understand how regional organisations work, we need insight into their financing. Money matters in organisations, and the authors in this volume help us navigate the politics of budgets in regional integration projects. Particularly in the global South, when capacity is often weak, financing structures can tell us a lot about power and priorities in regional organisations. This fine volume offers both theory and empirical cases that shine a light on the realities of regional cooperation in the developing world." - Julia Gray, University of Pennsylvania, USA.
"With its welcome emphasis on non-Western international organizations, The Finances of Regional Organisations in the Global South addresses an important empirical lacunae in the burgeoning literature on IO financing. The comparative analysis of regional organisations across Africa, Asia, and Latin America provides impressive breadth and sheds new light not only on how funding at these organisations works, but also on how they compare to their more familiar global counterparts." - Erin R. Graham, Drexel University, USA.
