A disheartened activist and brilliant scholar, Anderl rewrites the book on the dynamics of rule and resistance in global governance and the theorization of rule in international relations. Nicholas Onuf, Florida International University This book is a major contribution to our understanding of both global social movements and global governance. Anderls powerful analysis makes us see the relationship between social movements and international organizations in an entirely different light. A must-read for international-relations scholars of any stripe. Aye Zarakol, University of Cambridge Felix Anderl has produced a theoretically innovative and empirically rich book that re-frames debates about the role of advocacy groups in global governance. It is an impressive book that shows how openness and transparency also entail mechanisms of exclusion. Ole Jacob Sending, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs
