Multilateralism in Multinational Perspective Viewpoints from Different Languages and Literatures

This book examines writings on multilateralism. Drawing comparisons across cultures, it demonstrates how far-flung observers enrich understanding by regarding multilateralism from vantage points unlike those which underlie the dominant American literature. Authors illustrate how political, economic, and other conditions influence the concerns animating works under scrutiny, thereby elucidating the uses of theorizing.
