A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

More and more is being demanded of the UN system at a time when economic entrenchment throughout the industrialized world has made the system less and less able to respond. Yet, as this book suggests, the solutions to both the crisis of the world economy and that of the UN system may be linked. Twice in the past – in the generation before the First World War and the generation after the Second – unprecedented innovation within industrial economies has gone hand in hand with effective world organizations central to the governance of a growing international industrial economy. This book explores the role those world organizations play, how they have been created, why successive world orders have broken down, and how they can be reconstructed.

International Organization and Industrial Change is the first comprehensive history of the world organizations and industrial change for more than a generation; it provides essential historical background to current debates about reform of the UN system and of regional economic institutions throughout the industrial world; and it combines information usually only found in separate works on international relations, business history, and development studies.

The volume will be of interest to students and scholars of international organization, international political economy, and industrial change. In addition, it will make invaluable reading for officials working within and with international organizations.
