Main research themes are listed above. Selected documents may be downloaded from this site, as indicated. Much of the work has been conducted in response to opportunities created by work at the Union of International Associations (UIA). Such opportuntities notably included invitations to present papers to conferences. The papers presented do not necessarily reflect the views of that body, or any other, and should be considered as having been written in a personal capacity. The themes above also include topics that may have been very new when the papers were first written to address them and may continue to be of a cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral nature that makes it difficult for any particular authority to evaluate and authenticate the arguments. Many of the papers are also exploratory and speculative -- as part of a search for more creative ways to present complex arguments and challenges. Some are also highly controversial. See also: Chronological checklist for items that may not yet be well clustered by theme.

Specific studies frequently explore complex relationships between the above themes. Many of those focusing specifically on international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) were in the past published in the UIA journal Transnational Associations (possibly under its previous title of International Associations). Where appropriate, portions of other studies have also been reprinted in the extensive commentaries sections of the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential (as indicated under the Commentary column). In addition to the Documents that are accessible from this site, the respective index pages also indicate relevant bibliographic refrences to earlier documents that may not yet be accessible from this site. Where work by Anthony Judge has given rise to a Database, or been inspired by it, the possibility of access to the data, hosted by the Union of International Associations, is indicated in the relevant column above. Note that prior to dissemination of such data over the web, it may also have been made available in hardcopy reference publications or CD-ROM under the direction of Anthony Judge.
