title:Can I receive a complimentary copy of the Yearbook for information provided?

Requests for a complimentary copy of the Yearbook of International Organizations are noted sympathetically, but we regret that we are unable to supply such copies, as much as we should like to be in the position to do so. The books cost a great deal to produce and to distribute, and the database it is based on equally requires a great cost to maintain. What we are able to do is provide copies or online database access at a reduced price to non-profit, non-governmental organizations listed in the Yearbook.

Project proposal under the European Commission 7th Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration.

The central research question: How do long-term developmental trends in Europe’s international third sector compare to non-European international third sector organizations (1948-2012), to what extent do these trends reflect processes of convergence and hybridization, what organizations are most successful, and how can these trends and successes be explained?
