The purpose of this collection is to examine something generally ignored in the debate, even in the professional literature: what the United Nations actually does. The volume consists of original, authoritative, critical analyses of a sampling of key UN activities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn addition to their credentials in their own specialties, most contributors have extensive UN experience as staff members, delegates or consultants. Most are international lawyers and the others have a wide variety of backgrounds. They come from 12 countries. Each chapter stands on its own as a significant contribution to our understanding of both the subject and the quiet, undramatic but vital worldwide work of the United Nations. Students, scholars, and other researchers involved with the United Nations and other intergovernmental organizations will find this work of particular interest.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMARTIN IRA GLASSNER is University Professor of Geography Emeritus, Southern Connecticut State University.\/e A former U.S. Foreign Service Officer with service in Washington, Jamaica, and Chile, he has published extensively in political geography and has taught in Israel, Chile, and China.
