Book Synopsis The United Nations by : Geoffrey Leslie Simons
Download or read book The United Nations written by Geoffrey Leslie Simons and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins by describing the ideas and circumstances that led to the birth of the United Nations. Particular attention is given to the League of Nations as the precursor to what would become the truly global UN organisation. Aspects of the Cold War and the so-called New World Order are highlighted as shaping the two broad phases of UN evolution. Detailed profiles are given of the main conflicts that have involved the United Nations through its first half-century. Here emphasis is given to the impact of the United States as the principal founder-member and the main post-Second World War hegemonic power. The author argues that the United States typically coerces the United Nations (and such UN-linked bodies as GATT, the IMF and the World Bank) to serve the strategic and economic interests of the United States and world capitalism.

Book Synopsis Act of Creation by : Stephen C Schlesinger
Download or read book Act of Creation written by Stephen C Schlesinger and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-24 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Act of Creation , Stephen C. Schlesinger tells a pivotal and little-known story of how Secretary of State Edward Stettinius and the new American President, Harry Truman, picked up the pieces of the faltering campaign initiated by Franklin Roosevelt to create a "United Nations." Using secret agents, financial resources, and their unrivaled position of power, they overcame the intrigues of Stalin, the reservations of wartime allies like Winston Churchill, the discontent of smaller states, and a skeptical press corps to found the United Nations. The author reveals how the UN nearly collapsed several times during the conference over questions of which states should have power, who should be admitted, and how authority should be divided among its branches. By shedding new light on leading participants like John Foster Dulles, John F. Kennedy, Adlai Stevenson, Nelson Rockefeller, and E. B White, Act of Creation provides a fascinating tale of twentieth-century history not to be missed.

Book Synopsis Humanitarian Intervention by : Sean D. Murphy
Download or read book Humanitarian Intervention written by Sean D. Murphy and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1996-11-29 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the centuries, societies have gradually developed constraints on the use of armed force in the conduct of foreign relations. The crowning achievement of these efforts occurred in the midtwentieth century with the general acceptance among the states of the world that the use of military force for territorial expansion was unacceptable. A central challenge for the twenty-first century rests in reconciling these constraints with the increasing desire to protect innocent persons from human rights deprivations that often take place during civil war or result from persecution by autocratic governments. Humanitarian Intervention is a detailed look at the historical development of constraints on the use of force and at incidents of humanitarian intervention prior to, during, and after the Cold War.
