THE UNITED STATES AND MULTILATERAL INSTITUTIONS

This book brings together a wide range of experts to examine United States policy in intergovernmental institutions such as the World Bank, GATT and IMF.

World politics in the post-Cold War world has become increasingly institutionalized. However, the role of international organizations has been overlooked in much of the literature on international regimes to date. This book aims to fill the gap by providing a comprehensive examination of United States policy in areas ranging from international trade to human rights.

Margaret Karns and Karen Mingst set their detailed policy examination within a sophisticated theoretical framework, looking at the reasons why patterns of continuity and change differ so greatly among issue areas, and from one organization to another.

The book will appeal to both introductory students and to graduate students of Strategic Studies and of International Relations, and especially those taking courses on international organizations.

Margaret P.Karns is associate professor of political science and director of the Center for International Studies at the University of Dayton. She is also a faculty associate at the Mershon Center of the Ohio State University.

Karen A.Mingst is associate professor of political science at the University of Kentucky.

Acknowledgments

Academic collaboration is a slow and often tortuous task, a product of both enthusiasm and frustration. This volume is no exception. We have met and worked in such diverse settings as the modern public library building adjacent to the Mission at San Juan Capistrano, the shores of Frenchmans Bay, Maine, and the Quality Inn on the Ohio River in Cincinnati. There have been spans of time when each of us was working on other projects in Europe and Africa. It survived the births of two children and a teenagers navigation of the high school years.

The coauthored chapters are very much joint enterprises benefiting from our lengthy discussions as well as the comments of others. We have also worked in tandem editing others contributions. We believe the integration of the whole owes a great deal to that close collaboration and to the willingness of all the contributors to accept our suggestions for changes in their chapters.

We are most grateful for the generous financial support of the Mershon Center at Ohio State University and its director, Charles F.Hermann, the editor of this series. The financial and in-kind support of the Midwest Consortium for International Security Studies of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Johnson Foundation made it possible to bring all the contributors together with other academics and practitioners at the Wingspread Conference Center, Racine, Wisconsin, January 2830, 1987. These sessions were invaluable in providing opportunities for critical review and lively discussion of the framework and case study chapters and, hence, contributed to the achievement of an integrated volume. We are also grateful to Marian Rice of the American Academys Midwest office and Rita Goodman, former vice president of the Johnson Foundation, for their encouragement and assistance.

In addition to the contributors to this volume, participants in the Wingspread Conference included academic colleagues Charles F. Hermann, Chadwick Alger, Charles Lipson, Stephen Krasner, and Mark W.Zacher. The experience of the following policy participants brought valuable perspectives to the discussions: John E.Fobes (former deputy director general of UNESCO), Samuel De Palma (former assistant secretary of state for International Organization Affairs), Edward Luck (president, UNA-USA), and Margaret E.Galey (staff consultant, Committee on Foreign Relations, U.S. House of Representatives). We are grateful for their willingness to give their time, insights, and critical comments to the refinement of the overall framework and the substance of the individual case studies. In addition, the support of the Midwest Consortium for International Security Studies of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences enabled us to include five graduate students from Midwest institutions whose participation enlivened the discussion: Lisa L. Condit (Indiana University), Christopher Holoman (University of Chicago), Jennifer Holt (University of Chicago), Geoffrey Martin (Purdue University), and Suneeta Misra (Ohio State University).
