THE UN I T ED NAT I ONS :
LEADERSHIP AND CHALLENGES IN A GLOBAL WORLD
AS THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY MARCHES ON, THE GLOBAL
COMMUNITY IS CONFRONTED WITH A NUMBER OF COMPLEX
ISSUES, INCLUDING CLIMATE CHANGE, POVERTY, EPIDEMICS,
AND TERRORISM. Despite its imperfections, the United Nations
remains the primary international organization for addressing these
challenges. The United Nations: Leadership and Challenges in a
Global World explores the history, structure, and activities of this
most vital institution. The series will help students understand the
problems the organization faces—such as international discord and
its own complex bureaucracy—as well as the UN's promise of global
solidarity and security.
