Overview

World politics in the post-Cold War world has become increasingly institutionalized. However, the role of international organizations has been overlooked in much of the literature on international regimes. Now in paperback, The United States and Multilateral Institutions examines United States policy in areas ranging from international trade to human rights, and in institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), GATT and the World Health Organization.

Reviews

The book is exceptionally timely because it deals with the arenas in which many of the post-Cold War' issues are increasingly likely to be dealt with, if they are to be dealt with at all. . . The United States and Multilateral Institutions is one of those rare multi-author volumes in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. -Ole R. Holsti, Duke University
