The United Nations Secretary-General and the United Nations
Security Council spend significant amounts of time on their
relationship with each other. They rely on each other for such
important activities as peacekeeping, international mediation, and
the formulation and application of normative standards in defense
of international peace and security - in other words the executive
aspects of the UN's work. The UN Secretary-General and the Security
Council fills an important lacuna in the scholarship on the UN
system. Although there exists today an impressive body of
literature on the development and significance of the Secretariat
and the Security Council as separate organs, an important gap
remains in our understanding of the interactions between them.
Bringing together some of the most prominent authorities on the
subject, this volume is the first book-length treatment of this
topic. It studies the UN from an innovative angle, creating new
insights on the (autonomous) policy-making of international
organizations, and adds to our understanding of the dynamics of
intra-organizational relationships. Within the book, the
contributors examine how each Secretary-General interacted with the
Security Council, touching upon such issues as the role of
personality, the formal and informal infrastructure of the
relationship, the selection and appointment processes, as well as
the Secretary-General's threefold role as a crisis manager,
administrative manager, and manager of ideas.
