Description: This new and timely textbook recounts the historical and theoretical development of the international system in a lively analysis of the critical role of international organizations for the development of global governance. It examines the full spectrum of international organizations -- regional and global intergovernmental, non-governmental, and transnational organizations -- and clarifies the important position that international organizations have in the emerging global system. James Muldoon skillfully guides the uninitiated through the tangled world of international organizations, pointing out along the way important events and key factors which have shaped their creation and evolution, and makes the esoteric subject of international organizations accessible and very engaging for a new generation of students and scholars.
