Available at:
For the study of international relations, knowledge of the history of Western Cooperation, since the appearance of the United States ofAmerica as the major power in world politics, is essential.In this volume Professor Frans A.M. Alting von Geusau presents the history of Western Cooperation around a central theme: the effort ofrealist idealists to replace power politics by closer cooperation between democracies.

Part II focuses on the North Atlantic TreatyOrganisation (NATO) as the cornerstone of Western Cooperation. The first edition of this book was published in January 2002 shortlyafter the terrorist attack on America on 11 September 2001. The presidency of George W. Bush jr. in the United States has been marked deeply by 9/11 and America's ''war on terror.'' The end of the second term of his presidency and NATO's sixtieth anniversary would be the appropriate time to bring out a second revised edition.
