UN Decision Making in the Twenty-First Century
Courtney Smith is clear about his intentions in writing Politics and Process at the United Nations: The Global Dance. He describes the “primary contribution of the book” as “providing scholars and students of the United Nations with a conceptual guide to how the organization actually works” (p. 278). Thus, his focus is on UN decision making rather than on policy outcomes—but with a clear recognition that process and policy are intimately connecte…
The Political Economy of a Plural World
The Multidimensionality of Globalization
Most contemporary discourses on globalization are articulated around the increasing role of transnational (or multinational) corporations (TNCs) in overseeing national and cross-national economic activities. Policies and practices of TNCs are linked to neo- or Coca-colonization, homogenization of cultural practices, and the decline of the nation-state, among others, and explained at least in part by evolving communications technologies and the re…

A Challenge to Undergraduate Educators
The cold war appears to be over; its most vivid symbol--the Berlin Wall-is being torn down, its pieces falling prey to capitalism. The Vietnam syndrome of avoiding military conflicts at almost all costs has dissipated, if not disappeared. Franco-German enmity has been replaced by the promises of 1992. Japan has caught up with the Soviet Union in terms of gross national product. The United States has turned into the world's greatest debtor nation,…
Leadership in international organizations
The study of international organization has frequently involved a discussion of the skills necessary for effective leadership. Such an orientation flows from the notion that effective leadership may be ‘the most critical single determinant of the growth in scope and authority of international organization’. Thus there has long been a bias toward the study of dynamic executive heads, those who are either international organization founders or at l…
Assessing intergovernmental impact
Surprisingly little systematic research has been completed on evaluating the impact of intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) at a time when participation in their activities has come under close scrutiny. Both theoretical weaknesses and methodological inadequacies plague researchers who are interested in the effects of outcomes on affected parties, be they intergovernmental organizations, governments or, ultimately, individuals. In this paper, w…
