5.0 out of 5 stars
A surprisingly stimulating, indeed exciting read.,
This review is from: UN Voices: The Struggle for Development and Social Justice (United Nations Intellectual History Project Series) (Paperback)
On a potentially arid topic, the authors perform a minor miracle by relying not only on their own analysis of ideas as they developed at the UN since 1945 but also by quoting a large number of relevant and diverse voices of those who participated in shaping international thinking at the UN on development policy, human rights, the humanitarian impertative and humanitatian action, and the links between security and development. The book, which I originally obtained for research purposes, planning to seek out information in a targeted way, proved impossible to put down. A major achievement of readability and policy relevance telling a sweeping story of intellectual development, and one of great importance to citizens of the world all over the globe. Students of the World Bank and other development agencies, as well as those focusing on the UN more narrowly, definitely will gain from consulting this volume.
