The cover page of this book names me as the author. It is my conviction, though, that writing a book is bound to be a collective endeavor. Certainly, this work would not exist without the guidance of my mentors, the feedback and company of my colleagues and the backing of my family.

This book is based on my PhD and my work as a research associate at the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 700 Governance in Areas of Limited Statehood funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). I thank my first supervisor and chef, Andrea Liese, for her constructive, solution-oriented feedback from the beginning. Our regular conversations over the past four years formed this book in several constructive ways, while Andreas intellectual openness from the beginning allowed me to develop my own ideas and approach. It was due to her as a principal investigator in our SFB 700-D8 research project Talk and Action. How International Organizations respond to areas of limited statehood that I developed a certain affection towards international organizations. I also thank Andrea for her careful attention to detail, clarity and focus when my project faced the risk of mission creep. Thomas Risse, my second supervisor, deserves special gratitude for giving direction to my work at critical junctures. Thomass own scholarship inspired much of my thinking about transnational social movement advocacy. As the founder and director of the aforementioned research center, it is thanks to him that I was able to work in an inspiring, interdisciplinary and supportive environment that has shaped not only this work, but also its author. I thank the DFG and, ultimately, all German taxpayers, for enabling our SFB 700 research center.

Before I started at the research center, Lars Brozus was an important mentor to me. Without him, I would most likely not have applied and I am very thankful for his guidance at the right time. Once at PhD work, David Hunter was very helpful, putting me in touch with several NGO and World Bank representatives, some of which became critical interviewees for my case studies. I also thank David for inviting me as a guest scholar to American Universitys Washington College of Law and for providing legal advice regarding the human rights obligations of multilateral development banks. Among movement activists, Knud Vcking, Bruce Rich, Chad Dobson and Jolie Schwarz were of immense help - I am grateful for their trust and time. I thank Nicole Deitelhoff for her crucial intellectual guidance as well. Her reading of and commenting on several excerpts (despite having no formal role as a supervisor) and the invitation to her and Christopher Daases colloquium in Frankfurt were of immense importance to this work and exceeded the (already ambitious) standard of diffuse academic reciprocity by far.
