Summary

For undergraduate and graduate courses in International Organizations, United Nations and International Relations Theory. This text not only provides a nuts and bolts overview of International Organizations, but it examines the principles and policies of international organizations from the paradigmatic views of Liberalism, Realism, Marxism and Feminism. Using actual case studies, it challenges students to critically compare and contrast their own views against widely held and competing world views.
