Synopsis

International organizations arise from the desire for co-operation between States and, though conflicts of interest often arise between the members of such organizations, their positive influence on the general political and economic climate is undeniable. Recent events in Eastern Europe have highlighted this. The reappraisal of the principles and purposes of the United Nations Organization - which took place following the dramatic events leading to the reunification of Germany - reconfirmed its vital role in world affairs. This book offers a practical and concise source of information on European and international organizations contributing to the political, economic and cultural future of the continent of Europe. It provides useful facts and details concerning the purpose, membership and structure of each of the organizations. The book has been compiled by Hans-Albrecht Schraepler who, during his two years as Head of Information of the Council of Europe, observed that no readily usable source of information existed on international organizations of importance to everyone from the Atlantic to the Urals. The organizations included are those which play an important political, economic, cultural or social role in international and European affairs and in the daily life of every European citizen. In each case, the purpose and activities of the organization are described, and its structure is explained by giving details of the policy-making body, the executive council and the secretariat in charge of administration. All the information is arranged in fact-sheet format for ease of access. A table of membership of European and major international groupings and a chronology of events in the history of European construction are also provided as a useful supplement to the individual entries. This book will be a valuable easy-to-use source of reference for all those who need a basic knowledge and understanding of the work of those international bodies of political or economic importance to Europe as we approach the 21st century.
