United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

This book traces the history of UNESCO from its foundational idealism to its current stature as the pre-eminent international organization for science, education, and culture, building a well-rounded understanding of this important organization.

The book:

provides an overview of the organization and its institutional architecture in the context of its humanistic idealism;

details the subsequent challenges UNESCO faced through the Cold War and power politics, global dependence and interdependence, and the rise of identity and culture in global politics;

analyzes the functioning of UNESCO administration, finance, and its various constituencies including the secretariat, member states, and civil society;

explores the major controversies and issues underlying the initiatives in education, science, culture and communication;

examines the current agenda and future challenges through three major issues in UNESCO: Education for All, digital divide issues, and norms on cultural diversity;

assesses the role of UNESCO in making norms in a complex world of multiple actors and intersecting issue areas.

Reflecting on UNESCOs vision, its everyday practices, and future challenges, this work is an essential resource for students and scholars of international relations and international organizations.

J. P. Singh is Associate Professor at the graduate program in Communication, Culture and Technology at Georgetown University, USA.

About the series

The Global Institutions Series is designed to provide readers with comprehensive, accessible, and informative guides to the history, structure, and activities of key international organizations as well as books that deal with topics of key importance in contemporary global governance. Every volume stands on its own as a thorough and insightful treatment of a particular topic, but the series as a whole contributes to a coherent and complementary portrait of the phenomenon of global institutions at the dawn of the millennium.

Books are written by recognized experts, conform to a similar structure, and cover a range of themes and debates common to the series. These areas of shared concern include the general purpose and rationale for organizations, developments over time, membership, structure, decision-making procedures, and key functions. Moreover, current debates are placed in historical perspective alongside informed analysis and critique. Each book also contains an annotated bibliography and guide to electronic information as well as any annexes appropriate to the subject matter at hand.
