Biography
Molly Ruhlman is Political Science Adjunct Professor at Towson University, USA
This work is part of Routledge’s impressive "Global Institutions" series. Ruhlman (Towson Univ.) examines the role of non-state actors (NSAs) within international organizations. Because the constituent, dues-paying members of international organizations are generally nation-states, readers might question whether NSAs play any meaningful role within them at all, although some observers see a declining role for traditional nation-states. --M.
