内容説明

From regional conflicts to areas of environmental degradation, the UN's success depends on the way in which three dilemmas are resolved: the tensions between sovereignty and the reality of its erosion, those between demands for global governance and the weakness of UN institutions (as well as the reluctance of states to commit), and those between the need for leadership and the diffusion of power. This book explores these dilemmas in the context of the UN's historical evolution, including its experience of peace-keeping, peace-making, and development sustainability. The authors also consider the roles of various participants in the UN system, from major powers (especially the United States), small and middle powers, coalitions, and non-governmental organizations, to the six secretaries-general. There is also an examination of the need for institutional reforms, and specific proposals for reform.

The United Nations faces unprecedented opportunities as well as heightened expectations in the wake of the Cold War. With as yet unmet challenges throughout the world, the limits to UN power and effectiveness are being realized. The authors explore the key dilemmas facing the UN in the context of the organizations historical evolution, including its experience with peacekeeping, peacemaking, and development sustainability. They also consider the role of various actors in the UN system and the need for institutional reforms. This new text places the UN at the center of the entirely new set of issues now emerging in world politics. }The United Nations faces unprecedented opportunities as well as heightened expectations in the wake of the Cold War.

The need for institutional reforms and specific proposals for reform are examined.Because multilateral diplomacy is now the norm rather than the exception in world politics, the UN is more central than ever.
