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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher R. Thomas,Juliana T.
