Description:
Bongang reveals that the United States Congress determined the content of United Nations through a coercive funding strategy including withholding dues until reforms were implemented. The coercive funding legislation, Helms-Biden, although bipartisan, was inspired by ideas from conservative policy think-tanks. Bongang traces the evolution of ambivalent attitudes in Congress towards international organizations. These ranged from the rejection of the League of Nations in the Senate to enthusiasm for the creation of the United Nations.. Such swings, Bongang contends, are consistent with the logic of America s unique and dominant role in the twentieth century. The book is thus a case study consistent of American exceptionalism and hegemony, and it emphasizes the importance of ideas in foreign policy.
