Reviews
“This book gives no clear cut answers on how this new collective security challenge can be met by the UN in its current form. Instead it provides the building blocks to form one’s own judgement on the organization’s potential. The book is especially relevant for students and scholars seeking a comprehensive understanding of the organizational flaws and potentials, strengths and weaknesses of the UN-organization.” - Isa Baud, Vice President, European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes
“This book’s main attraction lies in the fact that its authors have so many different relations with the UN. It brings together renowned scholars, politicians and practitioners; those studying the UN, those shaping the system and those that have to work with the outcomes of the political power wrangling.” - Dr. Barbara Oomen, Associate Professor of Law, Roosevelt Academy, University of Utrecht at Middleburg
