Praise for The New United Nations, Third Edition
The authors writing style is clear and easy to read even for students who are not IR or political science majors. I applaud the authors recognition of the new role of regional international organizations. The authors strategy to provide a narrative that grabs students interest and curiosity in the introduction will engage students to learn more about the dynamism of the UN in the context of twenty-first century peace and security issues, such as terrorism, cyber security, and the seeming intractable poverty, ethnic, gender and development problems in the developing countries. The book has the potential to serve colleges and universities nation-wide in the United States, and internationally.

Accurate and meticulously researched. A well-written, up to-date treatment of the United Nations not only as an intergovernmental institution but also as the embodiment of the rule of law among and within states. Written in plain, easy-to-understand language, the authors aptly describe and fairly assess the strengths and weaknesses of the United Nations as well as the ways it has adapted and continues to evolve in order to meet the monumental challenges that it faces today.

The third edition of The New United Nations is a very comprehensive, yet readable, introduction to what the UN is and what it could yet be. The writing is crisp, transporting the reader from global conferences of diplomats into the locales where much of the work of the United Nations is performed. Even though its intended to be a textbook, it reads in parts like an action thriller. Professors Moore and Pubantz empower readers to understand so they are better prepared to act as informed (global) citizens.
