How has the role of the United Nations and its Secretary-General
changed with the end of the Cold War? With the beginning of a New
World Order? These questions are increasingly significant as the
threat of nuclear-bloc confrontation is replaced by ethnic tensions
and civil conflicts. In this first study of the office of the UN
Secretary-General in this new era, Rivlin and Gordenker bring
together leading scholars and practitioners to analyze these
issues.
The fifteen essays in this volume discuss the new complexity and
salience of the role of the UN Secretary-General and its current
incumbent, Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Not only is the role analyzed in
relationship to a rapidly changing climate of world politics, but
it is also examined in relationship to the backgrounds and
experiences of the earlier Secretaries-General from Trygve Lie, Dag
Hammarskjold, U Thant, and Kurt Waldheim, to Javier Perez de
Cuellar. All those concerned with the UN, international
organizations, and international administration will find this
volume interesting reading.
