The Role of International Administrative Law at International Organizations


Book Description

The Role of International Administrative Law at International Organizations, edited by Peter Quayle, is centred on the law of employment relations at international organizations, and divided into four parts. It examines the interplay between international administrative law and the jurisdictional immunities of international organizations. It explores the principles and practice of resolving employment related disputes at intergovernmental institutions. It considers the dynamic development of international administrative tribunals. It examines international administrative law as the basis for the effectiveness and integrity of international organizations. Together academics, jurists and practitioners portray the employment law that governs the international civil service and the resulting accountability of the United Nations, UN Specialized Agencies, and international financial institutions, like the World Bank and IMF.







A Political and Strategic Assessment of the United States Military Commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization


Book Description

The increasing concern over the reduction of the United States forces permanently stationed in Europe was studied. The defenses of Europe are discussed in its historical and strategical value in length. The paper examines the defense interests of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United States as well as the United States commitment, responsibilities, balance of payment problems, and further the why and how of the possible American troop reduction without the isolationism of the United States. The study evaluates America's proper role in the NATO Alliance and calls for a new direction of American foreign policy and strategy with respect to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

The Future of NATO


Book Description

The conclusion of International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) operations in Afghanistan in 2014 closes an important chapter in the history of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). In this volume, European and US experts examine a range of perennial issues facing the Alliance, including relations with Russia, NATO’s institutional organization and command structure, and the role of the United States in the Alliance, in order to show how these issues shape today’s most pressing debate—the debate over the balance between NATO’s engagement in security operations globally and traditional defense within the North-Atlantic region. The volume’s contributors propose that NATO can indeed find a viable balance between competing, but not inherently incompatible, strategic visions. A theoretically informed, empirical account and analysis of NATO’s recent evolution, this volume will appeal to both security scholars and practitioners from the policy community.
