Synopses & Reviews
As Leon Hurwitz clearly illustrates in this new work, Western Europe provides the best examples of regional interdependence and international management of cooperation through various intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations. And it is the European Community institutional framework which has enjoyed the greatest success among these organizations. This book is a penetrating study of the European Community's experience in the international management of cooperation, its goals and objectives, its present operation and future prospects.
