Multilateral Diplomacy and the United Nations Today FROM THE PUBLISHER
As the world confronts new and ongoing challenges of globalization, international terrorism and an array of other global issues, the United Nations and its key attribute-multilateral diplomacy-are more important now than ever before. With new and updated essays that detail the experiences of a diverse group of practitioners and scholars who work in the field of diplomacy, this new edition covers in even greater breadth and depth the quintessential characteristics of multilateral diplomacy as it is conducted within the United Nations framework. Multilateral Diplomacy and the United Nations Today provides valuable insights from a variety of perspectives on how diplomacy is practiced, making it essential reading for aspiring diplomats, international business leaders, and students of all levels. The contributors to this volume bring a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience to the examination of five areas of multilateral diplomacy: UN diplomacy, crisis diplomacy, international economic diplomacy, UN summits and "citizen diplomats," and non-governmental diplomacy.

Particularly aimed at students and faculty involved in the Model UN, 18 contributions were written to close the gap between the understanding of issues before the UN and the actual (and less understood) diplomatic proceedings of the organization. Articles are divided into sections on crisis diplomacy and the UN Security Council, economic diplomacy, UN-sponsored summits, nongovernmental diplomacy, and future prospects.
