First Published in 1993, this is part of the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva series. This study looks at whether scholars of international politics attempt to understand cooperative behavior in the light of the theories developed by the observers of both conflict and of cooperation. This volume expands the short list of such works and does so with insight, a wide range of scholarship and a willingness to test particular cases against existing theory. The author has written a book which expands the knowledge of, but also a thoughtful improvement of existing theoretical approaches. Uvin's universe of enquiry excludes military power and its application. It concentrates on the long-term, complex organization of cooperative transnational behavior and its rationale. Its focusses on functional issues involving world hunger, a haunting background and result, and perhaps even one cause, of the dreadful violence that characterizes our world even as the threat of catastrophic nuclear warfare has declined.

Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva. First edition. xvi+334 pages with index. Cloth a little marked. Very good in like dustjacket. This international political economy study analyzes the international regime and outcome of hunger as well as their effects on the incidence of hunger. In doing so, it touches a large variety of other disciplines such as trade and development economics, demography, international finance and rural society. Four issue areas that are globally upheld as solutions to the problem of world hunger are studied in detail. These are: family planning to diminish population growth and the number of people to be fed; food trade, to import food according to comparative advantage increase the total supply of food in developing countries; structural adjustment, to increase the efficiency of economy-wide resource allocation and stimulate food production; and food aid, to temporarily assist the developing countries in their economic development. The relevance of these cases to the theory of international political economy and international organization is discussed throughout. N° de réf. du vendeur 14804
