About this title

Synopsis

Confronting some of the major theoretical issues at stake in international relations, this volume attempts to clarify and explain the extensive role that multilateral co-operation can play in helping to stabilize the shape of the current international order.

Review

Succeeds in building on earlier work on cooperation, institutions, and regimes. It succeeds best in enlarging our understanding of the domestic dimensions and roots of multilateralism, as well as the false assumptions about cooperation with large numbers. (Mershon International Studies Review)
