A thoughtful study of the problems facing foreign policy makers.
This special issue of International Organization probes the
relationship between the United States and multilateral
organizations. It highlights the major choices the United States
will confront during the next decade. The editor of the collection,
Lawrence S. Finkelstein, was a participant in the conference that
formed the United Nations, was for many years Vice President of the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and had been since 1967
Acting Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Brandies
University. Finkelstein's own essay and that of Vermon Aspaturian
maintain that the United States had a relatively easy role in peace
keeping in the less sophisticated days of Soviet policy under
Stalin. But the changing nature of Communist opposition, the rapid
growth of the international constituency, and the misfortunes of
U.S. intervention in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Vietnam make
her relationships with fellow members of NATO, OAS, and the
developing countries more tenuous. "RFD" urges that, in the face of
the limited effectiveness of peace-keeping organizations and
pressures for unilateral action within the United States as within
every country, our leaders should look to means of strengthening
the U.N and act multilaterally in a hungry world. Other studies in
this book are Joseph Nye's examination of the issues of regional
organization and an essay by David Kay about the literature on
"United States Policy and International Organizations." The book is
a thoughtful study of the problems facing foreign policy makers. It
is recommended to anyone who wishes to have a better understanding
of what constitutes international crises and the fundamental
choices to be made. Other Contributors Vernon V. Aspaturian,
Patricia W. Blair, Lincon P. Bloomfield, Inis L. Claude, Jr., Louis
Henkin, David A. Kay, Peter B. Kenen, and Joseph S. Nye. And a
final article has been contributed by a well qualified authority
who adopts the pseudonym "RFD" as a means of anonymity.
