The International Library of Politics and Comparative Government is
an essential reference series which compiles the most significant
journal articles in comparative politics over the past 30 years. It
makes readily accessible to teachers, researchers and students, an
extensive range of essays which, together, provide an indispensable
basis for understanding both the established conceptual terrain and
the new ground being broken in the rapidly changing field of
comparative political analysis. These two volumes include articles
which examine the system, the structure, the function and the
future of the United Nations.
This guide to the workings of the United Nations details the
purposes and structure of the organization, with specific chapters
on peace and security, disarmament and human rights. In the final
chapter, the problems facing the UN are examined. Tables provide
information on the size and distribution of UN membership,
peace-keeping operations and the use of the Security Council veto.
It also includes the full text of the UN Charter.
This Handbook provides in one volume an authoritative and
independent treatment of the UN's seventy-year history, written by
an international cast of more than 50 distinguished scholars,
analysts, and practitioners. It provides a clear and penetrating
examination of the UN's development since 1945 and the challenges
and opportunities now facing the organization. It assesses the
implications for the UN of rapid changes in the world - from
technological innovation to shifting foreign policy priorities -
and the UN's future place in a changing multilateral landscape.
Citations and additional readings contain a wealth of primary and
secondary references to the history, politics, and law of the world
organization. This key reference also contains appendices of the UN
Charter, the Statute of the International Court of Justice, and the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The Procedure of the UN Security Council is the definitive book of
its kind and has been widely used by UN practitioners and scholars
for nearly 40 years. This comprehensively revised edition contains
over 450 pages of new material documenting the extensive and rapid
innovations in the Council's procedures of the past two decades. A
one-stop handbook and guide, with meticulous referencing, this book
has served diplomats, UN staff and scholars alike in providing
unique insight into the inside workings of the world's preeminent
body for the maintenance of international peace and security.
Thoroughly grounded in the history and politics of the Council, it
brings to life the ways the Council has responded through its
working methods to a changing world. The book explains the
Council's role in its wider UN Charter context and examines its
relations with other UN organs and with its own subsidiary bodies.
This includes the remarkable expansion in UN peacekeeping,
peacebuilding and political missions, sanctions and
counter-terrorism bodies, and international legal tribunals. It
contains detailed analysis of voting and decision-taking by the
Council, as well as the place, format, and conduct of meetings. It
also seeks to illuminate the personalities behind the Council's
work - ranging from the diplomats who sit on the Council itself to
the UN Secretary-General, and those outside the Council affected by
its decisions. It concludes with reflections on the improvements
that have made to the Council's procedures over many decades, and
the scope for further reform.
