With the beginning of a New World Order? These questions are increasingly significant as the threat of nuclear-bloc confrontation is replaced by ethnic tensions and civil conflicts. In this first study of the office of the UN Secretary-General in this new era, Rivlin and Gordenker bring together leading scholars and practitioners to analyze these issues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe fifteen essays in this volume discuss the new complexity and salience of the role of the UN Secretary-General and its current incumbent, Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Not only is the role analyzed in relationship to a rapidly changing climate of world politics, but it is also examined in relationship to the backgrounds and experiences of the earlier Secretaries-General from Trygve Lie, Dag Hammarskjold, U Thant, and Kurt Waldheim, to Javier Perez de Cuellar. All those concerned with the UN, international organizations, and international administration will find this volume interesting reading.","brand":"Praeger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45086884036759,"sku":"9780275944667","price":9563.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780275944667.webp?v=1767266322","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-challenging-role-of-the-un-secretary-general-making-the-most-impossible-job-in-the-world-possible-9780275944667","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
