In this review of 17 Vol's published or completed in the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace series of 'national studies on international org', the author first discusses the ways in which these reports try to answer the questions raised by the Carnegie Endowment & subsequently draws general conclusions concerning the att's of states toward international org, & the role the UN can play in a world of nation states. The various methods by which states try to promote or protest their interests (either through or against international org), the diff's in behavior between states which have vital interests at stake & states which do not, the complicated & often contradictory alignments of states on important issues (such as collective security) are thus analyzed. The possibilities which are open to the UN in the functional areas, & the more limited ones which remain open in pol'al fields (in particular as a result of the task of 'pol'al mobilization' performed by the UN), are finally examined. IPSA.

Untersucht werden die Ursachen für die gestiegene Neigung der meisten Industrieländer und auch Schwellenländer, durch gezielte industriepolitische Maßnahmen, durch sog. "targeting", die eigene internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit bzw. die eigene Stellung in der Stufenleiter der internationalen Arbeitsteilung zu verbessern. Am Beispiel der USA und Japans wird gezeigt, daß die komperativen Vorteile der Handel treibenden Länder keineswegs mehr automatisch vorhanden sind, sondern durch politische Eingriffe gemacht werden. Bei der Analyse des Spannungsverhältnisses von internationalem Handel und nationaler Industriepolitik wird das System des Welthandels als ein internationales Regime definiert. Argumentiert wird, daß die nationalen industriepolitischen Aktivitäten Gefahr laufen, die Anpassungsfähigkeit des internationalen Handelsregimes letztendlich zu überfordern und somit das internationale Konfliktpotential erheblich zu steigern.

This book presents an interpretation of the interaction of national economies through international trade. It makes clear the links of both cause and effect that exist between an individual country and developments abroad, and then connects these links for all countries into an international system. Issues such as the process of adjustment, exports, investment and international capital movements are discussed. Statistical content from 25 countries around the world is provided to back up the theoretical concepts and the international findings compared
