International Organizations: A Comparative Approach, 3rd Edition

The authors bring years of academic and practical experience to this work designed as a college text. What sets it apart from other books in the field is its coverage of international organizations as agents in general, rather than specific histories and functions of particular, well-known organizations, although numerous case studies are presented to illustrate larger points. Specifically, it provides the basis for theoretical models concerning institutional behavior and provides something rarely reviewed from a comparative perspective in texts, international administration. The authors present well-built theories to explain institutional behavior and behavior of the individuals within them. It is a work that fills a gap and the revised edition will be welcomed.
