ConUNdrum : The Limits of the United Nations and the Search for Alternatives

This book examines the broad range of social, political, economic and security issues addressed by the United Nations and experts comment on strengths and weaknesses of the current system in addressing those concerns.

The U.N. has a long history of ineffectively handing the world's most critical problems-such as war, terrorism, genocide, poverty and pandemics-and scholars discuss ways to fundamentally reform the current international system to maximize international efforts to address global problems.
