This volume brings together an impressive array of new research on these networks and their role in the consolidation of the culture and practice of design as we know it today. -- Kjetil Fallan, Professor of Design History, University of Oslo, Norway\u003cbr\u003eIn the past 80 years, international organizations have greatly shaped discourse and practice in industrial and graphic design. \u003ci\u003eInternational Design Organizations\u003c\/i\u003e provides a refreshingly diverse array of critical perspectives into the designers’ interactions with and through international organizations, with a focus on lived experience and the political ramifications of the ideal of the ‘international’, within design communities. Chapters clearly demonstrate how international design organizations are constituted both by regional and local ways of working brought into dialogue and by an often-illusory proposal for ‘universal’ design approaches, values or standards, showing how the resulting communities of practitioners, researchers and educators both link design culture across geographical and cultural divides and reflect deeper political inequalities between continents and nations. -- Sarah Teasley, Professor of Design, RMIT University, Australia\u003cbr\u003eThis new edited volume presents pioneering research in predominantly postwar design histories and successfully applies network research methods onto yet unexplored design history material. Thirteen essays analyse histories of institutions transnationally and reveal the complex functioning of design institutions and their contributions to the narrative of design history as a whole. This fascinating and engaging book will captivate its readers but should also become a useful teaching tool for understanding this net of stories and histories. -- Helena Capková, Associate Professor of Art History, Ritsumeikan University, Japan\u003cbr\u003eAn invaluable retrospective for students of design management and design history and a rare treat for graphic design students, tracing the historical underpinning of paradigm shifts that have informed a century of design. This volume provides a unique insight and perspective on the evolution and impact of key international design organizations and influential personalities instrumental in shaping the international discourse on design. This is a timely reminder of the importance of international collaboration in a time of resurgent nationalism. -- Sara Ekenger, Course Leader, MA Design Management, London College of Communication, UAL, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eInternational Design Organizations\u003c\/i\u003e is a much-awaited collection that offers new perspectives on the entanglement of design cultures and networks during a historical period of heightened internationalism and exchange. Drawing on a plurality of expert views and deftly edited, this book contributes to our understanding of design and designing as a multifaceted, ever-shifting activity negotiated through professional and institutional rules, national and transnational interests, and resulting from diverse epistemic structures. A timely read for anyone invested in advancing global, transnational and decolonial approaches to design. -- Livia Rezende, University of New South Wales, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures List of Tables List of Contributors Preface  Introduction, \u003ci\u003eJeremy Aynsley (University of Brighton, UK), Alison J.
