Through the lens of international relations theory, it focuses on eight key issue areas central to international relations: conflict; weapons; human rights; global health; financial governance; international trade; political and economic unions; development, and the environment. Capturing the best and most up-to-date scholarly research and empirical examples from around the world, the book enables students to develop the theoretical tools to evaluate IOs and answer the key question, 'are IOs a help or a hindrance?'. Text features include suggestions for further reading, questions, highlighted key terms and supplementary online resources, as well as text boxes providing demonstrations of how additional theories and concepts apply to specific IOs in the issue areas discussed. This textbook is an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate courses on global governance, international organisations, and international relations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 8 $a Introduction: IOs as problem solvers -- Using theory to evaluate IOs as problem solvers -- Minimising and halting conflict -- Protecting human rights -- Providing global health -- Providing financial governance -- Promoting international trade -- Creating regional IOs -- Furthering development -- Protecting the environment -- Conclusion: if global governance is the answer, what is the question?. 650 0 $a International agencies. 650 0 $a Conflict management $x International cooperation. 650 0 $a Human rights $x International cooperation. 650 0 $a World health $x International cooperation. 650 0 $a International economic relations. 650 0 $a Economic development $x International cooperation. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $x International cooperation. 650 7 $a Conflict management $x International cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00874787 650 7 $a Economic development $x International cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901835 650 7 $a Environmental protection $x International cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913367 650 7 $a Human rights $x International cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963301 650 7 $a International agencies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976708 650 7 $a International economic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976891 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214014345.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0398A6C6E96E11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
