Purchase options and add-ons

The Secretary-General of the United Nations is a unique figure in world politics. At once civil servant, the world's diplomat, lackey of the UN Security Council, and commander-in-chief of up to a hundred thousand peacekeepers, he or she depends on states for both the legitimacy and resources that enable the United Nations to function. The tension between these roles - of being secretary or general - has challenged every incumbent. This book brings together the insights of senior UN staff, diplomats and scholars to examine the normative and political factors that shape this unique office with particular emphasis on how it has evolved in response to changing circumstances such as globalization and the onset of the 'war on terror'. The difficulties experienced by each Secretary-General reflect the profound ambivalence of states towards entrusting their security, interests or resources to an intergovernmental body.

Secretary or General?: The UN Secretary-General in World Politics

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

The book is an excellent collection of essays about the complex and multi-dimensioned position of Secretary-General of the United Nations. The essays are well-written, and are probably the best collection currently available on the subject. But, as good as the writings are, it must be said that their treatment of the critically important topic of the political powers of the U.N. Secretary-General needs to be further expanded and amplified.
