Michael Harsch is a faculty fellow at New York University Abu Dhabi where he teaches courses on international organizations and peacebuilding. He is also a non-resident fellow at New York University's Center on International Cooperation. His research examines international cooperation in promoting security, effective governance and development in fragile and conflict-affected countries, with a focus on Afghanistan and the Balkans.
Harsch's book is a timely and unique resource which helps bridge
the gap between IR theory and organizational science. It is also a
blueprint for how researchers can help effect actual political
change.

Michael Harsch has written a book which is both instantly readable
as well as breaking very new ground. He describes with great
clarity the complex, often difficult but always important
relationships between the United Nations and NATO. His analysis of
the basic drivers of those relationships allows us for the first
time to think carefully how we might improve them in the future.
This is a true example of the value of scholarly reflection to
practice.

Deputy Head of the UN Supervisory Mission in Syria and former UN
Regional Humanitarian Coordinator in the Balkans*
NATO and the United Nations will again go to war together in the
future. Before launching the next operation, Michael Harsch's
well-researched book should be read by every diplomat, development
specialist, and soldier assigned to the mission. It suggests key
principles for cooperation and identifies conditions that seem to
limit collaboration. I wish I had Michael's book both when I served
as a military commander and as an ambassador in Afghanistan we
would have done better.

at Stanford University, former US Ambassador to Afghanistan and

The study of relationships among multilateral organizations is a
research frontier in international relations and Michael Harsch is
a pioneer.The Power of Dependence is a fascinating study of the
conditions under which NATO and the UN cooperated, or failed to do
so, on post-Cold War issues of crisis management.

Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton
University*
The proliferation of international institutions means that many
problems in today's world require cooperation not just among states
but among multiple organizations with varying and sometimes
overlapping missions, resources, and memberships. By examining the
conditions that permit or hinder cooperation among international
organizations,The Power of Dependence breaks new ground on this
important topic.
*Kenneth Schultz, Professor of Political Science, Stanford
University*
An impressive book that should be widely read at the UN and at
NATO. Constructed around a useful theoretical framework, it
advances our understanding of what has often been a fraught
relationship between these two important international
organizations.
*David M. Malone, Rector of the United Nations University and
Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations*
With practical studies of inter-organizational co-operation
comparatively rare, Harsch's book is a timely and unique resource
which helps bridge the gap between IR theory and organizational
science. It is also a blueprint for how researchers can help effect
actual political change.
*Russell Foster, University of Amsterdam*
