Managing Diversity in Intergovernmental Organisations 2008 edition

Intensifying worldwide environmental changes as well as political, cultural religious, and economic crises have made itergovernmental organisations (IGOS) important instruments in international and global cooperation. In order to cope with their diverse stakeholders, it is more imperative than ever for intergovernmental organisations to engage in personnel policy on an international scale. Successful diversity management is an essential prerequisite for organisational performance, conflict management, and dynamics of IGOs. Björn A. Peters examines the challenges of diversity and managing diversity in IGOs on the basis of the Mekong River Commission case study.
