This is one those rare prefaces in which the author need not attempt to justify, or apologize for, the addition of another book to an already over burdened field. There is certainly no plethora of serious studies on inter national organization in general, and almost none dealing with the administrative aspects of such organization. More precisely, the author is not aware of a single comprehensive treatment of the finances of any international political organization, past or present. Over the years, many former Secretariat members of the League, the United Nations, and their affiliated agencies have come forth with either memoirs or general commentaries on their organizations. And frequently these works have included revealing, but brief, passages dealing with budg etary questions, yet none has dealt with these questions in any detailed or thorough fashion. It is unfortunate that this is so. Not that the fate of the world rides on the United Nations budget, or that matters of peace and war will be determined by the dollars and cents of the Secretary-General's estimates. Yet questions of real importance to many of the world's citizens are decided in the budgetary struggle. Until the policy decisions of the various organs are translated into budget items, there is no visiting mission to encourageTogoland's movement toward eventual self-govern ment, no cease-fire observer in the Middle East, no rehabilitation com mission in South Korea, and no public administration advisor in San tiago.

An assembly of the work of J.David Singer, who for 30 years has pursued the scientific study of world politics and the causes and prevention of war. The work combines analysis applied to theory-building and policy concerns, and it reflects a dedication both to hard evidence and to world peace.

In this volume, originally published by Ohio State University Press in 1962, the author discusses the serious strategic gap between those responsible for deterrence and those responsible for disarmament in both the Soviet Union and the United States. Even when there is effective communication, their policies are often inconsistent, erratic, and incompatible. The purpose of this study is to offer a model of strategic decision-making through which we may understand how these irrational policies emerge and how they might be modified.
