Edited by Héloïse Berkowitz, Sanne Bor and Nils Brunsson

Abstract: Meta-organizations – organizations with other organizations as members – are everywhere. They exert significant influence over markets, public policies, and their own member organizations. The authors explain why meta-organizations are established, what they do and how they achieve their societal impact.
