The Emerging Roles of NGOs in the UN System: From Article 71 to a People’s Millennium Assembly
The relations between the UN system and what is referred to as civil society are dynamically growing and changing. In this article I focus on five aspects: (1) evolving procedures for UN-nongovernmental organization (NGO) relations presided over by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC); (2) broadening of NGO involvement at UN headquarters; (3) the present scope of NGO involvement in the UN system; (4) growing NGO involvement in the World Bank …

Expanding Governmental Diversity in Global Governance: Parliamentarians of States and Local Governments
Almost no attention has been given to the expanding governmental diversity in participants in global governance that has been stimulated by the impact of technological change on the global range of human activities. The global reach of parliamentarians of States has roots in formation of the International Parliamentarian Union in 1889, and that of local governments in founding of the International Union of Local Authorities in 1913. This article …

Evolving roles of NGOs in member state decision-making in the UN system
NGOs have become involved in virtually all issues on the agendas of organizations throughout the UN system, with their presence facilitated by 90 liaison offices. They play a diversity of roles in public sessions of decision-making bodies and also perform a variety of roles in private meetings in which preparations are made for public meetings. At the same time, their involvements with secretariats involve an even broader range of activities, inc…
The Role of the Practitioner-Scholar: Johan Kaufmann's Contributions to Scholarship on Decision Making in the United Nations System
The significant role that practitioner-scholars can play in research on the UN system is illuminated through analysis of the contributions of Johan Kaufmann who represented The Netherlands as Permanent Representative to UN agencies in New York and Geneva and to OECD in Paris. He combined scholarship with practice throughout his thirty-eight years in the Foreign Service and until his death in 1999. He was a keen observer of the impact on UN decisi…

Grass-Roots Perspectives on Global Policies for Development
Global policy for development emerges out of a process that reaches from the grass roots to global organizations. From a Third World perspective, several typologies of local, national, and international development organizations are presented, along with case studies examining problems encountered in their relationships. From a First World perspective, local development education and advocacy organizations are examined, along with links between t…

Peace Studies at the Crossroads: Where Else
Peace studies should be in the midst of four crossroads. First, peace studies must be at the crossroads of peace research, peace education, and peace action. In a century-long learning process, 21 approaches to peace have been developed in the twentieth century. In response, peace studies must be at a second crossroads, between approaches of negative peace—stopping violence—and those of positive peace—overcoming social injustice. Peace studies mu…
Grass-Roots Activism in the United States: Global Implications
Interviews/dialogues with some 35 grassroots activists in the United States sought answers to these questions: (1) Why do globalists and localists who are active on similar issues work in isolation from each other? (2) Do they have common concerns? (3) Would they have more influence on centers of economic and political power if they worked together? (4) If they wished to work together, how might this be done? The authors, specialists on internati…

Creating Participatory Global Cultures
This paper, resting on the belief that people everywhere have the right to determine their own culture instead of having one imposed on them in the name of national or global solidarity, maintains that this right can become real only if people at the local community level gain the competence to control all external impact on their culture and thereby contribute to new global cultures through participation in work and in local government, both of …
Patterns of Representation in National Capitals and Intergovernmental Organizations
Although the first recorded permanent diplomatic mission was established by the Duke of Milan at Genoa over five hundred years ago, knowledge of the structure and functioning of the global diplomatic enterprise is still extremely limited.

Research on Research: A Decade of Quantitative and Field Research on International Organizations
Writing in 1966, I examined the degree to which changes in research methods in political science are affecting research on international organizations and made some suggestions for extending the use of more rigorous empirical methods in international organization research. This effort stimulated a desire to make a more systematic inquiry. Reported in that paper are the results of a systematic survey of fourteen journals and eleven international r…
Comparison of Intranational and International Politics
The study of international relations has been considerably advanced in recent years by the application of findings from other areas of the social sciences. These have included decision-making, game theory, conflict, bargaining, communication, negotiation, systems, geography, attitudes, and simulation. International relations scholars such as Morton Kaplan, Charles McClelland, Richard C. Snyder, and Harold Sprout have built important bridges betwe…
Non-resolution consequences of the United Nations and their effect on international conflict
"Foreign" Policies of U.S. Publics
Although people are increasingly involved in international processes through economic and social activities of everyday life, even those who are active in domestic policy-making still tend to defer to foreign-policy “experts.” The evolution of scholarly paradigms is making it easier for nongovernmental actors to perceive their links to global processes. This paper argues that the wider public can only be included in this linkage if transnational …

The Multinational Corporation and the Future International System
It has been asserted that the multinational corporation is an instrument for peace and will spur an era of international government.

Multinational corporations, with headquarters in a few rich countries and directed by nationals of these countries, wil…

Role of People in the Future Global Order
