Gordon Mace, Jean-philippe Therien And Paul Haslam (eds.), Governing The Americas; Assessing Multilateral Institutions

摘要

cover subjects such as the nature of the Organisation of American States (OAS) itself, hemispheric security arrangements, efforts to protect regional democracy and to enforce the criminalisation of human rights abuses, and the status of trade agreements within the Americas. The work is competently edited and the general quality of the contributions is good, but it is narrower in focus than its title suggests. The sub-title of the volume is a more accurate indicator of its contents than the main tide. It would be more accurate still to describe the work as being a set of studies on some selected aspects of hemispheric governance and their change over time.
