Based on a wealth of sources, files and interviews, and including
previously unpublished material, this book explores the foundations
of the political ethics of Dag Hammarskjold, the second
Secretary-General of the United Nations, examining how they
influenced his actions in several key crisis situations.
Hammarskjold's political innovations, such as the creation of
peacekeeping forces, the use of private diplomacy and the concept
of the international civil service, were bold attempts at
translating the aims and principles of the UN charter into concrete
thought and action. Kofi Annan described Hammarskjold's approach as
a useful guideline to dealing with the problems of a globalized
world. Offering a topical perspective on a subject that has not
recently been explored, this book analyzes Hammarskjold's successes
and failures in a way which offers insights into contemporary
problems, and in doing so provides a significant and original
contribution to UN studies.
Political Ethics and The United Nations will be of interest to
students of the United Nations, peace studies, and international
relations in general.
