2/ Far less attention has been given to the way IOs use their field access to govern global issues on the ground-without first going through formal policy channels or renegotiating their authority.

3/ The book demonstrates that through field-based practice, IOs directly regulate global issues in the spaces where they become virulent, in different locations across the globe.
4/ It draws on ethnographic fieldwork at the European external border, incl. interviews at the headquarters of 7 organizations, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and three humanitarian NGOs.
5/ This, combined with an extensive document analysis, shows that field staff improvise to organize collective action on under-regulated issues and that headquarter staff consolidate and diffuse their operational knowledge.
6/ Immense thanks go to Jens Steffek, Len Seabrooke, Lisbeth Zimmermann, Christian Kreuder-Sonnen and so many others who helped this book see the light of day
