Fifty years after the creation of the United Nations, there exists
a vigorous debate as to its limitations and possibilities. In
United Nations in the Contemporary World, David J. Whittaker
examines how the UN works and assesses its position as a world
organisation. The author explores the nature of the UN as a regime
in contemporary international relations. He considers the changing
terms of reference of the UN and includes discussion of: * UN
organisational procedures and principles; * recent historical case
studies, including studies on peacekeeping * the role of the UN in
global urbanisation, arms control and in supplying aid for refugees
* past and future internal reform, goals, achievements With an
annotated bibliography and a helpful glossary United Nations in the
Contemporary World provides an interdisciplinary history of the UN
and debates the key issues for its future. David J Whittaker gives
a cogent analysis of how the UN addresses today's world problems
and how it can adapt for the future.
