Description for The UN Secretary-General from the Cold War to the New Era: A Global Peace and Security Mandate?
hardcover. Num Pages: 239 pages, biography. BIC Classification: JPP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140 x 23. Weight in Grams: 465.
An in-depth examination of the evolving peace and security activities of the United Nations Secretary-General in the context of developments in international politics. The constraints and opportunities which the Office has experienced under Pérez de Cuéllar and Boutros-Ghali in the transition to the post-Cold War world and the controversy which has surrounded the Office reflects the volatility and uncertainty of the UN in a changing environment. It is argued that the Secretary-General's activities in the 1990s reflect a development of the international civil service beyond the classical model.
