Informationen zum Autor Bruce Cronin is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is the author of Community under Anarchy: Transnational Identity and the Evolution of Cooperation (1999), which was awarded the International Studies Association's 2000 Chadwick Alger Prize for the best book on international organization. Klappentext Bruce Cronin develops a theory that links international stability with progress in building a cohesive international order. He examines how states attempt to provide for international stability by creating International Protection Regimes--multilateral institutions designed to protect clearly defined classes of people within sovereign states. Cronin argues that! in the aftermath of major systemic changes! states try to create international orders by regulating the relationship between governments and their populations! particularly in newly formed and reorganized states. Zusammenfassung Why do states act through international organizations to protect populations within other states! even though this falls outside traditional definitions of state interest? Cronin argues that states act in this way because a cohesive international order! ensured by international protection! is essential to international stability. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
