Bibliography of studies on international organizations

The UIA's journal Transnational Associations is a key bibliographical source of studies addressing the major current preoccupations of international civil society, and particularly nongovernmental organizations profiled in the Yearbook of International Organizations.

In addition to bibliographical information appearing in Transnational Associations, the former Secretary-General of the UIA, G P Speeckaert produced International Institutions and International Organization: a select bibliography in 1956 containing 783 entries. A revised edition was produced under the title Select Bibliography on International Organization in 1965 containing 1,080 entries. A cumulative index to articles that had appeared in Transnational Associations under its earlier names was produced by Eyvind S Tew in 1962 under the title The First Ten Years of International Associations.

A comprehensive bibliography of studies of international NGOs was produced by Anthony Judge and Kjell Skjelsbaek under the title Bibliography of Documents on Transnational Association Networks and published in the 1972 edition of the Yearbook of International Organizations. A revised version appeared in the 1974 French edition of this Yearbook. It contained approximately 854 entries.

The third part of Volume 4 of the Yearbook is the result of extensive bibliographical research building on initiatives of the past and incorporating references to the most recent studies and information in Transnational Associations. It contains 6,582 entries; this figure does not include entries whose presence was duplicated under multiple subject headings.
