Contributions from a key group of former diplomats, UN officials
and academics including people who have worked closely with the
Secretary-General brings key insights into the theory and practice
of the United Nations ? Expands on different aspects of the
Secretary-General''s role allowing both depth of analysis and some
real world policy prescriptions
內容簡介：
The Secretary-General of the United Nations is a unique figure
in world politics. At once civil servant, the world''s diplomat,
lackey of the UN Security Council, and commander-in-chief of up to
a hundred thousand peacekeepers, he or she depends on states for
both the legitimacy and resources that enable the United Nations to
function. The tension between these roles - of being secretary or
general - has challenged every incumbent. This book brings together
the insights of senior UN staff, diplomats and scholars to examine
the normative and political factors that shape this unique office
with particular emphasis on how it has evolved in response to
changing circumstances such as globalization and the onset of the
''war on terror''. The difficulties experienced by each
Secretary-General reflect the profound ambivalence of states
towards entrusting their security, interests or resources to an
intergovernmental body.
