The post-2015 sustainable development goals and the changing
environment for development cooperation requires a renewed and
transformed UN system. In line with their increasing significance
as economic powers, a growing number of emerging countries will
play an expanded role in the UN system, which could take the form
of growing financial contributions, greater presence in governance,
higher staff representation, a stronger voice in development
deliberations, and a greater overall influence on the development
agenda. Emerging Powers and the UN explores in depth the
relationship of these countries on the world stage and their role
in the future UN development system. Formally, the relationship is
through representation as member states (first UN) and also UN
staff (second UN). However, the importance of civil society and
market actors (third UN) in emerging countries is also growing.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Third
World Quarterly.

Contemporary Africa and the Foreseeable World Order sheds light on
the place of "Africa Agency” in the competitive and changing
global system. This book provides scholars, policymakers, and other
stakeholders studying and working on African issues with innovative
solutions, strategies, knowledge, insights, case studies, and
analyses to support decision-making on how best African states
should position themselves in the dynamic global system in order to
influence key decisions. Featuring themes such as the African Union
(AU) and the consequences of the discovery of oil in the
non-traditional oil exporting countries, the editors and
contributors have demonstrated why and how Africa’s position in
the foreseeable world order is largely dependent on the influence
of both existing and emerging world powers. .
