Description: |
While studies of the UN typically focus on its internal procedures, resources and problems, this inquiry probes its external circumstances - the diverse ways in which the rapidly changing international scene is likely both to provide it with opportunities and to impose constraints. |
Synopsis: |
Rosenau's bifurcation model of global turbulence suggests the emergence of a series of power gaps that may well be filled by the United Nations in the years ahead. His analysis highlights the probability that, far from being engulfed by change, the world organization seems destined to be enlarged by it. He offers, as well, six specific recommendations for policy through which the UN can become not only a recipient, but also an agent, of change. |
