| Summary |
"This volume comprehensively evaluates the current state and future reform prospects of the UN Security Council, providing the most accessible and rigorous treatment of the subject of UN reform to date. Apart from a couple of critical eyes in the academic community, few have asked the pertinent questions that this volume seeks to address: Will the enlargement of the council constitute a reform? Could the inclusion of countries such as India, Germany, Japan, and Brazil markedly improve the council's agency? In response, this book focuses on: the role and agency of the UN Security Council; the history of the reform debate; an expanded council; working method reforms; enhancing agency. As the future of the UN Security Council continues to be the focus of fierce debate, this book will be essential reading for students of international relations, international organizations and international security studies"--Unedited summary from book cover |
