5.0 out of 5 stars A Global Agenda, September 16, 2009
This is a very useful book to understand the various issues facing the United Nations today. Previous editions were extremely dense in their coverage of topics like human rights, the environment, and international security before this international organization. While such coverage gave one great insight in matters being considered by the United Nations, it was a bit dense for the average reader. Today, newer editions like the 2009-2010 one are much more accessible and are organized into small essays and fact sheets, discussing the plight of the Congo, how the current financial chaos threatens the UN's role in humanitarian issues, and the United Nations' role in advancing human rights. This book is appropriate for anyone interested in the United Nations and Model United Nations. I myself am incorporating this book within an International Organizations college-level class and recommending it to anyone interested in Model United Nations. Its more accessible style and pertinent information will appeal to a wide range of readers, especially the average college student.
