The United Nations at the Crossroads of Reform


Book Description

A critical examination of institutionalism within the United Nations; specifically, the question of what actually occurs in the process of change or reform. The first ten chapters describe the operation of the UN as an institution in terms of the chief units or groups in the system. In the next four chapters, the substantive work of the UN is analyzed in terms of technology, institutions, environment and people categories of institutionalism. The final chapter presents a discussion of the nature of positive changes that are possible in the structure and functioning of the UN. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95.

Vanishing Borders


Book Description

National governments are ill-equipped for tackling transnational environmental problems, from ozone depletion to soaring trade in commodities like timber and shrimp. As these issues climb higher on the political agenda, industrial and developing countries are on a collision course over climate change and water shortages. Goods, money, microbes, pollution, people and ideas are crossing global boundaries evermore frequently. The implications for our future and for the health of the planet are profound. This text describes what we need to do to cope with the challenge.
