Rezensionen

"In this meticulously researched book, Diana Panke takes on the central question of whether and how differences in state capacity influence the processes and outcomes of international organizations. Based on an impressive mixed-method exploration of the United Nations General Assembly, the book convincingly establishes the conditions for large and small state influence. The book's conclusions are of general importance for our understanding of the interaction between state power and formal rules in international organizations, the dynamics of multilateral negotiations, and the ability of small states to have an impact in world politics." - Jonas Tallberg, Stockholm University, Sweden
