Die Vereinten Nationen: Aufgaben Instrumente und Reformen(The United Nations: Tasks, Instruments and Reforms)

Abstract

This compendium features ten articles on the most pressing issues concerning the present and future of the United Nations. The issues include, most importantly, how globalization will alter the goals and assignments of the embattled organization. The authors tend towards the prescriptive, floating recommendations (especially with the environmental problems covered) with detailed accounts of how the levers of power and authority actually function. Yet a smoothness and cohesiveness convert the text from the all-too-typical pastiche academic work to a strong display of topical know-how; in this way, the cases for overhauling reform seem to be all the more convincing.
