The United Nations was intended to be a powerful actor in the
contemporary world. Fifty years after its creation, there exists a
vigorous debate as to its limitations and possibilities. David J.
Whittaker offers a concise critical analysis of the UN as a world
organization and considers how it works, if its member states fail
and what reforms are desireable and feasible. The text explores the
nature of the UN as a "regime" in contemporary international
relations. It considers the changing terms of reference of the UN
and includes a series of case studies to illustrate the
multifaceted activities of the UN - in peacekeeping, arms control,
aid for refugees and complex issues associated with developing
nations and global urbanization. The author also surveys the
prospects for internal change and principles of the organization,
and provides an interdisciplinary history of the UN and debates the
key issues for its future. It includes an annotated bibliography,
glossary and guide to further source material to aid individual
research.
