UN ideas have set past, present, and future international agendas in many global economic and social arenas and have also led to initiatives and actions that have improved the quality of human life. This capstone volume draws upon findings of the other 14 books in the acclaimed United Nations Intellectual History Project Series. The authors not only assess the development and implementation of UN ideas regarding sustainable economic development and human security, but also apply lessons learned to suggest ways in which the United Nations can play a fuller role in confronting the challenges of human survival with dignity in the 21st century.United Nations intellectual history project (Series)United Nations ideas that changed the worldHuman rightsEconomic developmentEconomic developmentSocial aspectsEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspectsConflict managementPeace-buildingHuman rights.Economic development.Economic developmentSocial aspects.Economic developmentEnvironmental aspects.Conflict management.Peace-building.341.23/1Jolly Richard118394Emmerij Louis127233Weiss Thomas G(Thomas George),1946-242072MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963232403321UN ideas that changed the world4466841UNINA
