The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) : global governance through voluntary consensus / Craig N. Murphy and JoAnne Yates - Abingdon UK : Routledge, 2009 - xvii, 138 p. - Global Institutions. .
The ISO is the largest non-governmental global regulatory system that is also not part of the U.N. This book looks at how ISO came into being, what it does and how it does it. The voluntary consensus mentioned in the sub-title, and the fact that ISO deals with scientfic or technical rather than political matters are mportant aspects of its success. Some argue that the approach could usefully be applied to other areas of international cooperation.
