Synopsis

The issue of reforming the United Nations, its associated agencies, and the Bretton Woods institutions - notably the World Bank and the IMF - is on the world agenda. This book is a contribution to the debate from the viewpoint of the South. It argues that the North, and in particular the USA, must not be allowed to dictate what happens to the UN system in the name of efficiency and cost-cutting. The world desperately needs more effective and more democratic international institutions both for peacekeeping and for managing and developing a more just world economy. What is at stake is the very nature and direction of the UN. This book puts the case for this alternative approach and the changes required to strengthen the UN system.
