United Nations under Boutros-Boutros-Ghali SYNOPSIS
The policies of the UN and the leadership of Boutros Boutros-Ghali from 1992-1997 are explored in chapters that, rather than proceeding chronologically, provide political analysis of major events and issues. Topics include the US and its changing relationship to the UN, the redefinition of UN policy during the period, the major UN conferences on human rights, population, women, and social development; and the successes and failures of conflict management in Cambodia, Mozambique, Central America, Haiti, Angola, Somalia, Bosnia, and Rwanda. Burgess teaches international security at the US Air War College. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
