It has been more than a decade since we published the first edition of The New United Nations. At first blush, it may press our readers credulity that a second edition can still talk about a new UN. For, after all, at the turn of the century, when we wrote what was then our third book on the United Nations, the world body was in the thralls of a reform revolution; it had just become the first universal intergovernmental organization dedicated to peace and security in history, it had set a new course at the Millennium Summit, and the institution was responding rather effectively to the new challenges brought on by the end of the Cold War. Today, we still believe the moniker is valid as, over the last dozen years, the UN System has addressed unremitting international pressures with a flexibility in ideas as well as policies that suggest not only an enduring world body, but one that remains capable of reinventing itself.

In this edition, we describe and assess an institution that has adapted to real-world, and frequently novel, challenges. The UNs many institutions, at least most of them, have evolved, and if the patter of the mid-decade has meant anything, it has foretold of future evolution as well. Since publication of the first edition of this text, the member states have crafted new doctrines, such as the Responsibility to Protect, launched the Sustainable Development Goals, pursued holistic democracy in failing states, sought to empower women both in their own nations and internationally, tried to make the new Human Rights Council truly effective, and, with a self-critical eye, have queried how the world could address Ebola, terrorism, the Arab Spring, sectarian turbulence, climate change, and growing great power tensions with an effective United Nations.

In keeping pace with ever developing events we have made considerable use of Internet sources; URL sites in this book were accessed between June 2015 and June 2016.
