Taking an historical approach, the author explores both how the UN
has affected world politics and how the international political
system has formed and limited the work of the Organization. He
looks at why the UN was created, how it was affected by the Cold
War and how successive Secretaries General struggled to find a role
for themselves. The book shows how negative and even hostile views
of the UN were changed by the end of the Cold War and by the
UN-sponsored action in the Gulf, why the UN overreached itself in
Bosnia and Somalia and how it failed to stop the genocide in
Rwanda. While the main focus of this book is the role of the UN in
promoting international peace and security, it also examines the
work of the UN in other areas, including human rights and
environmental protection.
