By
Thomas G. Weiss and Sam Daws
Description
- Major new work of reference on the key international organization
- Definitive and comprehensive
- Unprecedented cast of contributors ranging across scholars, analysts, and practitioners
- Essential reading for scholars and practitioners alike
- Cross-disciplinary with key contributions from International Relations, International Law, and History
An authoritative, one-volume treatment of sixty years of history of the United Nations written by distinguished scholars, analysts, and practitioners. Citations and suggested readings contain a wealth of primary and secondary references to the history, politics, and law of the world organization. Between two covers, there is a clear and penetrating examination of the UNs development since 1945 and the challenges that it faces in the twenty-first century. This key reference work also contains appendices of the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Stature of the International Court of Justice.
This volume is intended to shape the discipline of UN studies, and to establish itself as the essential point of reference for all those working on, in, or around the world organization. It is substantial in scope, containing contributions from over 40 leading scholars and practitioners - writing sometimes controversially, but always authoritatively - on the key topics and debates that define the institution.
Readership: Scholars and students of International Relations and International Law, especially those interested in Global Governance, UN Studies, International Organization, and Conflict Resolution.
