Since the end of the Cold War, international organisations have assumed a greater importance on the world stage. The United Nations has played a key role in all of the major security issues during this period - increasingly called upon to address other global problems such as poverty and international crime - while the European Union has created a single currency and moved towards the adoption of a constitution. The growing significance of the World Trade Organisation and other economic institutions has led some to talk of the emergence of a structure of global governance; and international non-governmental organisations and social movements are now widely seen as forming a kind of global civil society that both challenges and participates in these developments.
Building on the success of the previous edition (Versailles to Maastricht: International Organisation in the Twentieth Century), this book is a valuable introduction to the complex history of modern international organisation. David Armstrong, Lorna Lloyd and John Redmond:
- Pay close attention to the League of Nations, the UN and the EU.
- Offer chapters on the new regionalism, global governance and international regimes and global civil society.
- Adopt a thematic and analytical approach to the subject.
- Provide a concise factual account of the rise of the international organisation.
DAVID ARMSTRONG is Professor of International Relations at the University of Exeter, UK.
LORNA LLOYD is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Keele University, UK.
JOHN REDMOND is Professor of European Studies at the University of Birmingham, UK.
