(406p. total) Published: Getzville; William S. Hein & Co., Inc.; This textbook explains the role of the Organization of American States (OAS) as an institutional facilitator with the mission to strengthen democratic institutions, respect for human rights, common security threats, and the institutional capacity to respond to complex situations. A unique feature of the chapters is the explanation of the OAS mission from a historical context with respect to public policy. Additionally, the chapters incorporate an interdisciplinary description of key events within a broader framework of democratic institutions. Organization of American States: Law, Policy, and Governance in the Western Hemisphere is a timely and thought-provoking work that should have an impact on governance in the hemisphere.
