In undertaking the revision and updating of this book, we have changed far more than we imagined when George Lopez, editor of the Dilemmas in World Politics series, first approached us in early 1998 about doing a second edition. We wish to thank him and Leo Wiegman of Westview Press for encouraging us. We particularly wish to thank users of the first editionboth faculty colleagues and studentswho provided critical feedback and helpful suggestions. Much has happened in the world and in the United Nations system since the first edition was published in 1995, necessitating substantial changes in the analysis of the UNs postCold War role. During the spring of 1998, Margaret Karns had the opportunity while teaching a training course on the UN system at the Institute for International Relations in Hanoi, Vietnam, to observe the UN in operation in that country, and the book has benefited from the conversations, data, and insights she gathered.

We wish to dedicate this second edition to our parents, Richard and Edna Mingst and Norman and Helen Padelford, whose generation had the foresight to create the United Nations, and to our children, Ginger, Brett, and Paul, whose generation must sustain it in the new millennium. Finally, we wish to thank our husbands, Robert Stauffer and Ralph Johnston, whose patience, support, and encouragement have enabled us to juggle many roles and to bring this book to fruition.
