Written by best-selling author Edward C. Luck, this new text is broad and engaging enough for undergraduates, sophisticated enough for graduates and lively enough for a wider audience interested in the key institutions of international public policy.

Looking at the antecedents of the UN Security Council, as well as the current issues and future challenges that it faces, this new book includes:



historical perspectives
the founding vision
procedures and practices
economic enforcement
peace operations and military enforcement
human security
proliferation and WMD
terrorism
reform, adaptation and change.
