John Mathiason, a member of the UN Secretariat for 25 years, offers a behind-the-scenes view of the work of a core, but often "invisible," element of world politics. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of a variety of international organizations, Mathiason traces the evolution of the international public sector, explains how secretariats function, discusses the creation of regimes to deal with issues ranging from human rights to internet governance, considers matters of implementation and accountability, and much more. The result is a unique contribution to our understanding of the actors involved in global governance.
