In October 2010, Hofstra University hosted a symposium evaluating
American presidential leadership at the United Nations (UN) from
1945 to the present. Sixty-five years after the creation of this
unique international organisation in the final months of World War
II, an evaluation of its achievements and challenges from the
perspective of the American presidency was both timely and
necessary. The United States hosts the UN, pays the largest share
of its dues, and typically guides its agenda, particularly in
matters of international peace and security. The president directs
American foreign policy and therefore represents U.S. interests at
the UN. How do American presidents work through the UN to achieve
their foreign policy goals, and what are the prospects for future
co-operation in the 21st century? This book presents the symposium
findings. The first part examines how American institutions,
namely, the president, Congress, and the executive branch, work
with the international organisation. The second part evaluates how
presidents pursue multilateral policy initiatives through the UN as
well as proposals for UN reform that would promote executive
interests there more effectively. Contributors include experts on
the American presidency, political communication, and international
security.
