It  analyzes the impact of these circumstances on the operations, programs  and activities of the Organization, and the adjustments and direction  which `metamorphosed' the regional membership at certain crucial  junctures of hemispheric and international evolution. \u003cbr\u003e  The book does so in three parts: through an historic examination of  the objectives of the Organization; a critical analysis of its  response over time to the forces of growth, transformation and change;  and the projection of what continuing developments might dictate on  the future characteristics of the Organization if it is to respond  effectively to the needs and aspirations of member states. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is a collaboration between Christopher R. Thomas and Julian  T. Magloire, with both parties contributing equally to its content and  preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461369387\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461369387\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4317-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 173\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358690963596,"sku":"9781461369387","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461369387.jpg?v=1755111786","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461369387","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
