Willetts has made an insightful and constructive (in every sense) contribution to the literature on NGOs and, by extension, IR theory, international institutions, and global governance. -Yale H. Ferguson, Global Governance, Vol. 18, 2012 A useful guide to NGOs and their roles in global politics. - Mariya Y. Omelicheva, Human Rights Quarterly, Vol. 34
