From the publisher

This book addresses the central theme of adjusting the United Nations system in light of the broadening definition of security, a perceived shift from modernity to post-modernity, and the contemporary debate about reform, adaptation, and institutional learning in multilateral institutions during transitional periods. The authors in this study focus on the lessons learned from the organization's recent performance in collective security, preventive diplomacy and deployment, and peacekeeping, among other things.

First line

In this new millennium, creating the capacity to deal effectively with poverty, malnutrition, environmental degradation, resource depletion and other conditions associated with the dual processes of under-and over-development stands as one of the greatest challenges for those who profess a commitment to modernism's promise of 'progress' with respect to improving human well-being worldwide.
