The United Nations: International Organization and World Politics R. E. Riggs
An analysis of the history, processes, structure and functions of the United Nations. It provides a comprehensive treatment that should be adaptable to a variety of course approaches. The book has been revised from cover to cover, redrafted to reflect significant changes in the world after the Cold War and the effect of those changes on the character and work of the United Nations. Topics covered include security through collective action, disarmament and arms control, and the principle of codeployment.
