Over three-quarters of a century, the UN has been impacted by major
changes in the balance of powers among its member states. This
unique and insightful book offers detailed commentary on its
historic effectiveness and reviews the capacity of the UN to reform
and adapt to global challenges. This book constitutes a judgement
on the overwhelming importance as well as the vulnerability of
multilateralism at a time when the UN has never been more
indispensable This book describes: How autocracy in the US, China
and Russia constrains the UN Why North-South politics has been a
constant feature of intergovernmental debate How the UN development
system became an extended patronage system What the UN learnt from
its peacekeeping failures, and how it continues to adapt Four areas
of needed and feasible reform to restore UN credibility. This
impressive book will be vital to the staff of permanent missions of
member governments to the UN, as well as UN secretariat staff. It
will also benefit researchers exploring international organizations
and the staff of development NGOs, as well as a broader audience of
those interested in UN and global politics.
