This book seeks to explore how the UN has generated, warehoused,
disseminated, structured, packaged, expanded, transferred and
leveraged its vast resources of accumulated information and
experience throughout the decades and, particularly, since the
start of the 21st century with the introduction of more connective
information and communications technology. It examines the
overarching objectives that have guided such activity and divides
UN knowledge management into three distinct, but often overlapping
and intertwining, categories: knowledge for social and
organizational learning; knowledge for norm setting; and knowledge
for creation of products and services. Svenson brings together
these multiple aspects of UN knowledge management to present a
holistic view of how the organization utilizes its global
intelligence to educate, advocate and serve member countries'
development. Instead of looking at the UN as an international
bureaucracy or as a peacekeeping, policymaking, humanitarian or
development entity, this work studies the UN as a generator and
purveyor of information, learning and experience in all of these
areas. This book will be key reading for all students and scholars
of international organizations.
