It develops a pro-multilateral case, emphasizing that multi-state cooperation is better suited to tackle challenges no single country can address alone.","Unilateralism and U.S. Foreign Policy  \nCENTER ON INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION  \nStudies in Multilateralism  \nUNILATERALISM AND U.S. FOREIGN POLICY  \nInternational Perspectives  \nedited by  \nDavid M.
