What's Wrong with the United Nations and How to Fix It,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Seven decades after its establishment, the United Nations and its system of related organizations and programs are perpetually in crisis. While the twentiethcenturys world wars gave rise to groundbreaking efforts at international organization in 1919 and 1945, todays UN is illequipped to deal with contemporary challenges to world order. Neither the end of the Cold War nor the aftermath of 9/11 has led to the next generation of multilateral institutions. But what exactly is wrong with the UN that makes it incapable of confronting contemporary global challenges and, more importantly, can we fix it?In this revised and updated third edition of his popular text, leading scholar of global governance Thomas G. Weiss takes a diagnoseandcure approach to the world organizations inherent difficulties. In the first half of the book, he considers: the problems of international leadership and decision making in a world of selfinterested states; the diplomatic complications caused by the artificial divisions between the industrialized North and the global South; the structural problems of managing the UNs many overlapping jurisdictions, agencies, and bodies; and the challenges of bureaucracy and leadership. The second half shows how to mitigate these maladies and points the way to a world in which the UNs institutional ills might be cured. Weisss remedies are not based on pious hopes of a miracle cure for the UN, but rather on specific and encouraging examples that could be replicated. With considered optimism and in contrast to received wisdom, he contends that substantial change is both plausible and possible.
