It`s doubtful, as counter-examples and criticisms abound: malfunctioning, failures, and submissiveness to the interests of the most powerful states... As diplomats, practitioners with these institutions, and experts on their processes, the authors know this territory well. With what they deem a realist and constructive perspective, they underline the strengths and weaknesses that these international actors have created and won`t abandon. Their research and investigations lead to the conclusion that despite the fact that it is possible to wage a war against the will of international institutions, it has become almost impossible to make peace without them. The choice of issues - collective security, disarmament, mediation, peace building, human security, reduction of poverty and inequalities, international criminal justice, multilateralism - make this edited volume a reference work on international organizations"-- Provided by publisher. 0 Peace-building -- International cooperation. 0 International agencies.1 Devin, Guillaume. 0 CERI series in international relations and political economy. 7 cbc orignew 1 20 y-gencatlg0 acquire 2 shelf copies -- policy default re10 2011-06-01 subj rev re04 2011-05-19 re04 2011-05-19 ONIX to Poly Sci. for subj. re14 2011-05-31, to re10 for subject review xj05 2012-01-30 Z-CipVer telework xj05 2012-01- re14 2011-06-01, to Dewey xn04 2011-12-22 1 copy rec`d., to CIP ver. re06 2012-04-12 (telework) cp. 3 to Discard
