The United Nations and changing world politics

In this latest edition of The United Nation and Changing World Politics, the authors provide a comprehensive and contemporary examination of the United Nations. They use a thematic approach to explore the UN's role in three critical issues in international relations: international peace and security; human rights and humanitarian affairs; and building peace through sustainable development. The new fifth edition is fully revised to take into account recent events, including the aftermath of September eleventh 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.
