This volume contains essays written (several in conjunction with co-authors)
between 1990 and 2001. All of them revolve around issues of interdependence,
institutions, and governance in world politics. They address a wide
variety of different problems, but they do so, I believe, from the standpoint of
a consistent analytical framework. That is, there is a view of how the world
works embedded in these essays, each of which reveals a different aspect of
this multifaceted understanding of world politics.
