The editors, De Francesco and Radaelli, have provided us with a great public good in assembling a stellar cast of contributors to discuss various dimensions of the OECD’s work and politics. This includes the organisation’s claims to expertise, its relationship to other international organisations, how it conducts peer review and fosters benchmarking, and how it draws on a network of regulators. The contributors also provide a range of policy-focused chapters, including on education, environment and taxation, among others. To identify not only how policies are made but received, the book provides a range of cases on the reception of OECD ideas, frames and policies. It also identifies emerging issues, such as cybersecurity and the SDGs, that will prompt the OECD to adapt further. This is an excellent contribution for all those interested in international organisations, the crafting of economic policy and key mechanisms of change in the international political economy.’\u003c\/i\u003e -- Leonard Seabrooke, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, and Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, Norway\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e‘The OECD represents one of the most policy-consequential and therefore frequently studied international organisations.
