This book reassesses international functionalism as an approach to global politics. Functionalism has been marginalized as simply a pre-scientific precursor to regional integration theory. In fact, functionalism provides a global view of states and international organizations working towards a peaceful and constructive world order through cooperative relationships across borders to satisfy human needs. Chapters examine the early development of functionalism and apply functionalist insights to issues, problems and conflicts in contemporary global governance

THE FORMER COMMUNIST GOVERNMENTS OF EASTERN EUROPE PERPETRATED THE MYTH THAT WORKING CLASS SOLIDARITY HAD OVERCOME ETHNIC AND REGIONAL CONFLICT. THESE GOVERNMENTS HAD A STRONG COMMITMENT TO ECONOMIC EQUALITY AMONG ALL SOCIAL GROUPS AND ALL REGIONS, LEADING TO SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR THEIR ECONOMICALLY LESS-DEVELOPED REGIONS. DUE TO EASTERN EUROPE'S DEMOCRATIZATION PROCESS, DEEP-SEATED REGIONAL AND ETHNIC DIFFERENCES HAVE RECENTLY COME INTO THE OPEN AND ARE NOW INFLUENCING THE PROCESS OF ECONOMIC REFORM. THIS PAPER IS A CASE STUDY OF HOW ETHNIC AND REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IMPACT ECONOMIC REFORMS IN PREVIOUSLY COMMUNIST COUNTRIES. SPECIFICALLY, THE AUTHORS EXAMINE THE ECONOMICS OF THE POLITICAL SEPARATION BETWEEN THE CZECH AND SLOVAK FEDERATED REPUBLICS.
