Praise for the Second Edition
At a time when disintegration and increasing tensions characterize the world, Moore and Pubantz’s thoroughly updated new edition presents the UN as an indispensable agency for international diplomacy, but without glorification or false claims. I recommend it warmly for its authority, clarity, richness of detail, and plain language, all of which make it an ideal textbook.
Norbert Götz, Södertörn University
Moore and Pubantz’s updated The New United Nations is an indispensable tool for understanding the UN System―not only its history, but its evolution to address contemporary challenges. Faculty and students alike will appreciate ample examples of UN work that allow a discussion of the organization’s role today, distinct from its function immediately after WWII and during the Cold War. As the world navigates apparent repudiations of the global economy with votes for Brexit and Donald Trump, new Secretary-General Guterres will work with member states to keep the peace, expand human rights, and promote economic development, the environment, and health policy. This essential text offers a critical foundation for understanding what may come next.
Michael Eaton, National Model United Nations
The new edition of The New United Nations is a very comprehensive, yet readable, introduction to the pre-eminent intergovernmental organization. The writing is crisp, bringing the reader into the locales where the diplomacy and work of the United Nations is performed. Even though it’s intended to be a textbook, in parts it reads like an action thriller as diplomats try the impossible―bringing agreements to life-long adversaries.
Larry F. Martinez, California State University, Long Beach
This updated and revised study of the United Nations is deeply informative and highly accessible. Its brilliant analysis of the contemporary UN makes this an indispensable text.
John W. Dumbrell, Durham University
The New United Nations is a well-written, well-organized, and highly insightful book. The new edition is as useful to serious scholars as it is to first-time delegates getting ready for Model UN. It is an indispensable addition to any library on international organizations, practice, or theory.
Shelton Williams, Osgood Center for International Studies
In this engaging and clearly written new edition, John Moore and Jerry Pubantz invite students to learn more about the dynamism of the UN in the context of twenty-first century peace and security issues like terrorism, cyber security, and the seemingly intractable problems of poverty, ethnic conflict, gender inequality, and development in the developing countries. The authors provide a narrative that grabs students’ interest and curiosity in the introduction and never lets go.
Sunday Obazuaye, Cerritos College
In the new edition of The New United Nations, John Moore and Jerry Pubantz offer a clear view of an institution, and its related organizations, that is always changing to meet new demands and plays a vital role in the contemporary world. Their assessment of the challenges of building a sustainable peace without the use of force illustrates the importance of the changing expectations, and collateral need for resources, facing the UN today. This book is more than a textbook―it is a substantive guide for a public who are world citizens impacted by the UN on a daily basis and whose support and understanding are crucial to its work.
