Description

Europa Directory of International Organizations 2009, Hardcover by Holman, Catriona Appeatu (EDT); Canton, Helen (EDT); Gladman, Imogen (CON); Elster, Robert (CON); Salzman, Elizabeth (CON), ISBN 1857435222, ISBN-13 9781857435221, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A complete, well-organized, and reliable resource, this one-volume reference presents the history, activities, and current membership of nearly 1900 international and regional organizations. Introductory essays situate international organizations within the contexts of the history of organizations, political economy, and the changes following the world economic downturn of 2008. The entries which follow are grouped into the United Nations and the major non-UN organizations. Each entry presents a history of the organization; current contact information; a list of member states; make up of its governing board; the form and workings of the organization and its elected or appointed leaders; affiliated organizations, committees, and commissions; regional offices; activities; finance; and publications. The lengthiest section of each entry is on the organization's activities, which are described in detail with attention to their history, goals, and descriptions of various events and policies. Depending on the organization, the role and activity of specific member states are described; articles, treaties, and agreements are quoted in full; and the contact information for affiliated offices and agencies are provided. The volume concludes with listings of other international organizations grouped by goal--such as agriculture, science, social science, and trade and industry--and a who's who of significant figures.

  1. Book was in excellent new condition as described. Book arrived in great shape. Excellent overall cost. There was a shipping problem however, there were 3 books labeled as shipping together, but 2 separate packages were used and both had same tracking number so first package triggered delivered status on all 3 books even though only 2 arrived, the second package with book 3 came next day. So if you dont get one of your books when it says delivered you might wait a couple days for the 2nd package.

  2. On the hunt for this particular cover art, the seller was very helpful with guidance on how to confirm through an ISBN search with the publisher. That solidified my choice to purchase from this seller. The book was packaged well for shipping and protection during travels. I'm extremely pleased with the pricing coupled with the mint condition of the book and the fast shipping (considering the hinderances caused by the current winter conditions). Great transaction and I will shop with them again!

  3. As pictured / as described. Shipping - I ordered Dec 12 and glanced to see something like "Arrives ... 17th-21st", quickly thinking, "OK - plenty of time for Christmas". When it didn't show up, I went back to find it was actually "January 14th-17th" - oops! my goof! Wasn't expecting 5 week shipping. But ultimately, it did come in on Dec 26th, so quicker than the stated and might have been even quicker if not for holidays. Otherwise, good packing. Quick, easy transaction. Thanks!
