Product Description
With updates throughout, this newly revised fifth edition serves as the definitive text for courses dealing with the United Nations. Built around three critical themes in international relations-international peace and security, human rights and humanitarian affairs, and building peace through sustainable development-The United Nations and Changing World Politics, fifth edition, guides students through the complexity of politics and history of the UN. Students of all levels will learn what the UN is, how it operates, and what its relationships are with the universe of external actors and institutions, from sovereign states to the plethora of nongovernmental and intergovernmental organizations now playing important roles in world politics. This new edition is fully revised to take into account recent events, including the aftermath of September 11th and the war on terrorism, the war in Iraq, the first deliberations of the International Criminal Court, and the largest-ever world summit on the occasion of the UN’s sixtieth anniversary.

Excellent look at the UN April 20, 2009
Lehigh History Student
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book offers an excellent overview of the United Nations and the various arms that exist within its alphabet soup. The authors approach the subject through several theoretical lenses and look at world order and how the United Nations has shaped it and what that order will look like in the future with the UN. The authors break the book into three interrelated areas of security, human rights and economic development/globalization. Each area is looked at in three pieces that are broad in scope. The first is the historical perspective of how the UN has approached each area, then a current look at how the UN is doing and finally what role will the UN play in the future. In the last part it is a look at how world order is structured because of UN actions. The book is very well written and is almost a modern classic for those who study international relations and want to understand how the UN fits into the world. No matter the stance on pro or anti UN this is a great book to start understanding what role the UN plays in the world and a masterpiece of scholarship.
