I have spent the last few days at an excellent conference at Georgetown on the Political Economy of International Organizations, expertly organized by my colleague Jimmy-Ray Vreeland. The conference mostly attracts European economists and American political scientists (a good mix) specializing in international economic institutions, especially the IMF and World Bank, although there were also papers on the environment, human rights and other issues of cooperation. All papers can be downloaded from the conference web-site and are well-worth a look.
