Zustand: good. Den Haag : Martinus Nijhoff. 1973. Paperback. xi, 120 p. A revision of the author's thesis, Stanford University, 1971. (Studien zur Regierungslehre und internationalen Politik, 5). A few pen markings in text. - The objective of this study is the tentative development and testing of an ecological-evolutionary theor…y of international organization-building and integration. This approach puts the study of international organization into the larger context of research on the step-level changes in the scale of sociopolitical organization. The concept of international organization as explicated in this study is not confined to the traditional notion of institutionalized intergovernmental interaction. Rather, international organization is con- ceived as having three major components: supranational bureaucracy and its interpenetration with national bureaucracies, transnational sodality, and multinational corporation. Formulating a set of hypotheses to explain the rise of the international organization level of sociopolitical integration the study distinguishes between internal and external environmental variables. Internal determinants of international organization-building, viz., the growth of industrial civilization and the emergence of the intelligentsia as a distinctive social grouping, are shown to be more powerful stimuli than external environmental determinants, notably the experience of violent international conflicts. The study also addresses itself to an investigation of the integrative effectiveness of international organization-building within the global context. In this study aggregate-type time-series data for the period 1865- 1965 are used to measure independent and dependent variables. Bivariate and multivariate statistical tests are applied to examine the tenability of the hypotheses set forth in the theoretical sections. Condition : good copy. ISBN 9789024715633. Keywords : POLITICS.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - unlike the historical-descriptive or legalistic approaches still pervading the majority of publications on international organization, has an implicit (empirical-) theoretical orientation. As a concomitant development, Yalem notes an increasing metho…dological 6 sophistication among some students of international organization. However, except for some favorable comments on the evolving theory of international community formation, Yalem does not evaluate the contribution of the empirical-theory-cum methodology literature to the study of international organization. More recently, Riggs and his associates (1970) and Alger (1960-70; 1970) have taken it upon themselves to do just this. The analysis of the impact of bthavioralism on the study of the United Nations system by Robert Riggs and his associates is a rather devastating indictment. Though demonstrating a concern to present balanced and qualified conclusions from their pemsal of the relevant literature, they summarize their assessment in the following statement: Behavioral research has probably been the most disappointing in the area of its central concern, that of theory-building. The grand theories tend to be heuristic in nature, divorced from the essential data base; and the best-supported proposi tions have the natrowest theoretical significance. Despite its aims and pretensions, the approach has not yet produced a coherent set of explanatory propositions to bring order or scientific exactness to the study of international organization or any substantial segment of it (Riggs et al. , 1970: 230).
