A comparative study of international organizations, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the interactions within and among the international system. The authors explore the political motivations of these organizations and assess their value and success. The book's comparative - rather than purely historical approach - will interest both students and scholars of political science. The study begins with an overview of international organizations and then turns to a discussion of the nature, classification, and growth patterns of both intergovernmental and international nongovernmental organizations. The motivations and propensity for the formation of these organizations are examined, including groups such as The United Nations and The Organization for African Union. Institututional and bureaucratic development is explored, followed by a discussion of decision-making process. The authors address domestic politics and the pursuit of foreign policy goals and study international regimes. The work also evaluates international organizations' task performances.

This text examines the relationship of regionalism to universalism, the interconnection between Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) and International Nongovernmental Organizations (INGOs), and the continuities between national and multinational foreign policy making in the post-Cold War world. While the commitment in this study is to comparative analysis, the historical, legal, structural-functional, and decision making approaches are also employed. The book underscores the pluralism of the world community, its decentralized nature, and its resistance to system and order. This revision was occasioned by the tremendous changes that have occurred in the field of international organizations in the last eight years. Scholars, teachers, and especially students, will benefit from the comparative approach utilized here.

<p>As Leon Hurwitz clearly illustrates in this new work, Western Europe provides the best examples of regional interdependence and international management of cooperation through various intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations. And it is the European Community institutional framework which has enjoyed the greatest success among these organizations. This book is a penetrating study of the European Community's experience in the international management of cooperation, its goals and objectives, its present operation and future prospects.</p>
