Brill Reforming the United Nations: The Challenge of Working Together: Volume 6

The hurdles for UN system reform are tremendous. This is demonstrated in a description of recent efforts in Security Council reform, the system-wide coherence initiatives and inter-agency coordination. Success is seen to require increased consolidation of mandates and structures. Review Like previous volumes, the book can be considered an extremely useful reference tool for researchers and practitioners who want to deal in-depth with UN reform processes. This is not so much because it provides easy access to important primary sources that are all available on the Internet--if you know where to look--it is rather the combination of primary documents, helpful compilation of information on the UN System, and informed analysis that make the book valuable.
