This book brings together two major developments of the past decade: the collapse of the Soviet Union on the political side and "globalization" on the economic side. It shows that both of these drastic changes resulted in an increasing demand for regulation and guidance by international organizations, which on their side feel an increasing pressure for adjustment to the changed international agenda.

Two major developments of the 1990s are the collapse of the Soviet Union with the subsequent abolition of the East West conflict on the political side, and a development sometimes referred to as "globalization" on the economic side. These essays aim to show that both of these drastic changes resulted in an increasing demand for regulation and guidance by international organizations, which in turn were pressured by their own need for reforms and adjustment to the changing international agenda.
