The UN Secretary-General and Secretariat

Leon Gordenker (Princeton University, USA)

Despite formidable handicaps, the office of UN Secretary General and the Secretariat exercise continuing policy functions that come as close as anything conceived to a central point for responding to global interests. Recent incumbents such as Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Kofi Annan have had a profound political impact on the global stage. This book explains the history, structure, functions and the future challenges faced by the institution at the heart of the UN. Written by a world authority on the subject, this is the ideal introduction for students of the UN, international organizations and global governance.
