The United Nations : International Organization and World Politics (United Nations)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
THE UNITED NATIONS analyzes the history, processes, structure, and functions of the United Nations. This best-selling one-volume text provides a comprehensive treatment that is adaptable to a variety of course approaches. The basic historical material that comprised the core of the first two editions remains intact in this latest rendering. However, the book has been revised from cover to cover, redrafted to reflect significant changes in the world after the Cold War and the effect of those changes on the character and work of the United Nations.
