Recensione:
Harsch's book is a timely and unique resource which helps bridge the gap between IR theory and organizational science. It is also a blueprint for how researchers can help effect actual political change. (JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies)
Michael Harsch has written a book which is both instantly readable as well as breaking very new ground. He describes with great clarity the complex, often difficult but always important relationships between the United Nations and NATO. His analysis of the basic drivers of those relationships allows us for the first time to think carefully how we might improve them in the future. This is a true example of the value of scholarly reflection to practice. (Martin Griffiths, Director, European Institute of Peace; former Deputy Head of the UN Supervisory Mission in Syria and former UN Regional Humanitarian Coordinator in the Balkans; Founding Director of the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue in Geneva)
NATO and the United Nations will again go to war together in the future. Before launching the next operation, Michael Harsch's well-researched book should be read by every diplomat, development specialist, and soldier assigned to the mission. It suggests key principles for cooperation and identifies conditions that seem to limit collaboration. I wish I had Michael's book both when I served as a military commander and as an ambassador in Afghanistan we would have done better. (Karl Eikenberry, William J. Perry Fellow in International Security at Stanford University, former US Ambassador to Afghanistan and Lieutenant General, Retired, U.S. Army)
The study of relationships among multilateral organizations is a research frontier in international relations and Michael Harsch is a pioneer.The Power of Dependence is a fascinating study of the conditions under which NATO and the UN cooperated, or failed to do so, on post-Cold War issues of crisis management. (Robert O. Keohane, Professor of International Affairs, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University)
The proliferation of international institutions means that many problems in today's world require cooperation not just among states but among multiple organizations with varying and sometimes overlapping missions, resources, and memberships. By examining the conditions that permit or hinder cooperation among international organizations,The Power of Dependence breaks new ground on this important topic. (Kenneth Schultz, Professor of Political Science, Stanford University)
An impressive book that should be widely read at the UN and at NATO. Constructed around a useful theoretical framework, it advances our understanding of what has often been a fraught relationship between these two important international organizations. (David M. Malone, Rector of the United Nations University and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations)
With practical studies of inter-organizational co-operation comparatively rare, Harsch's book is a timely and unique resource which helps bridge the gap between IR theory and organizational science. It is also a blueprint for how researchers can help effect actual political change. (Russell Foster, University of Amsterdam)
