The Secretary-General of the United Nations is a unique figure in
world politics. At once civil servant, the world's diplomat, lackey
of the UN Security Council, and commander-in-chief of up to a
hundred thousand peacekeepers, he or she depends on states for both
the legitimacy and resources that enable the United Nations to
function. The tension between these roles - of being secretary or
general - has challenged every incumbent. This book brings together
the insights of senior UN staff, diplomats and scholars to examine
the normative and political factors that shape this unique office
with particular emphasis on how it has evolved in response to
changing circumstances such as globalization and the onset of the
???war on terror???. The difficulties experienced by each
Secretary-General reflect the profound ambivalence of states
towards entrusting their security, interests or resources to an
intergovernmental body.
