Sommario/riassunto

This short introduction to the United Nations analyzes the organization as itis today, and how it can be transformed to respond to its critics. Combiningessential information about its history and workings with practical proposalsof how it can be strengthened, Trent and Schnurr examine what needs to bedone, and also how we can actually move toward the required reforms. Thisbook is written for a new generation of change-makers — a generation seekingbetter institutions that reflect the realities of the 21st century and that can actcollectively in the interest of all.

Ein wichtiges, informatives Buch, das zur rechten  Zeit kommt. Es macht deutlich, was auf dem Spiel  steht: eine multilateral ausgehandelte, nach Aus- gleich und Frieden strebende Weltordnung, die in  Chaos und Elend zu versinken droht. welt-sichten 5/2018
