By analysing whether small states can have an impact on the operations of international organisations (IOs), the project aims to identify the benefits, problems and prospects of modern multilateralism where more and more states actively participate. IOs are under pressure because more of their members have become active participants in their daily operations, trying to ensure the IOs are 'member-driven'. Some of the smallest states have had an impact. This project asks how, while operating with yesterday’s formal structures and rules, IOs have adapted to accommodate the participation of so many diverse states. Covering six IOs over the last 25 years, the project plans to identify the dynamic relationship between IO leaders and staff, and both their small and large member states. Project outcomes may inform the ways in which Australia could help to build the capacities of its smaller neighbours so that they can take advantage of their IO membership.

通过分析小国是否可以对国际组织的运作产生影响，该项目旨在确定越来越多的国家积极参与的现代多边主义的好处，问题和前景。IO面临压力，因为更多的成员已经成为其日常运营的积极参与者，试图确保IO是“成员驱动”的。一些最小的州也产生了影响。本项目探讨国际组织在沿用昨天的正式结构和规则的同时，如何适应如此多不同国家的参与。该项目涵盖了过去25年中的六个国际组织，计划确定国际组织领导人和工作人员及其大小成员国之间的动态关系。项目成果可为澳大利亚帮助其较小邻国建设能力的方式提供信息，使它们能够利用其国际组织成员资格。
