This work uses the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) as a case study of the community formation processes that occur across traditional national and state boundaries. Haas points to the ECSC as an example of an organization with the "power to redirect the loyalties and expectations of political actors." Haas contends that, based on his observations of the actual integration process, the idea of a "united Europe" took root in the years immediately following World War II. His careful and rigorous analysis tracks the development of the ECSC, including, in his 1968 preface, a discussion of the eventual loss of the individual identity of the ECSC through its absorption into the new European Community. Featuring a new introduction by Haas analyzing the impact of his book over time, as well as an updated bibliography, "The Uniting of Europe" is a aimed at political scientists and historians of modern and contemporary Europe.

Do governments seeking to collaborate in such international organizations as the United Nations and the World Bank ever learn to improve the performance of those organizations? Can international organizations be improved by a deliberate institutional design that reflects lessons learned in peacekeeping, the protection of human rights, and environmentally sound economic development? In this incisive work, Ernst Haas examines these and other issues to delineate the conditions under which organizations change their methods for defining problems. Haas contends that international organizations change most effectively when they are able to redefine the causes underlying the problems to be addressed. He shows that such self-reflection is possible when the expert-generated knowledge about the problems can be made to mesh with the interests of hegemonic coalitions of member governments. But usually efforts to change organizations begin as adaptive practices that owe little to a systematic questioning of past behavior. Often organizations adapt and survive without fully satisfying most of their members, as has been the case with the United Nations since 1970. When Knowledge Is Power is a wide-ranging work that will elicit interest from political scientists, organization theorists, bureaucrats, and students of management and international administration.

Of all of the books produced by Ernst B. Haas during his career, Beyond the Nation State contains the most complete and definitive statement of "neo-functionalism"--the theory of transnational integration for which he is best known. Focusing on the International Labor Organization (ILO), Beyond the Nation State was one of the first efforts to analyze systematically the dynamics and effects of a global international institution. This book is regarded as a classic in comparative politics, international relations, and among students of European Integration (IR) and has enjoyed a renaissance with the end of the cold war, reinvigorated European integration, resumed interest in communitarian theorizing, and efforts to theorize forms of global governance which relied on a heightened role for international institutions and their associated policy communities. First published in 1964, this book was part of larger project described by others as "neofunctionalism," "regional integration," and "soft constructivism," which animated Haas throughout his career. Beyond the Nation State continues to provide valuable guidelines for describing and understanding contemporary IR, and its reissue features a new introduction by Peter M. Haas, John G. Ruggie, Philippe Schmitte,r and Antje Wiener, placing this important work in a current context.
