UN Security Council Reform

This volume comprehensively evaluates the current state and future reform prospects of the UN Security Council and provides the most accessible and rigorous treatment of the subject of UN reform to date. Apart from a couple of critical eyes in the academic community, few have asked the pertinent questions that this volume seeks to address: Will the enlargement of the council constitute a reform? Could the inclusion of countries such as India, Germany, Japan, and Brazil markedly improve the councils agency?

In response, this book focuses on:

the role and agency of the UN Security Council;

the history of the reform debate;

an expanded council;

working method reforms;

enhancing agency.

As the future of the UN Security Council continues to be the focus of fierce debate, this book will be essential reading for students of international relations, international organizations, and international security studies.

Peter Nadin is a researcher, policy analyst, and consultant based in Sydney, Australia. His research interests include UN peace operations, armed groups, leadership in UN missions, and the UN Security Council. He has previously worked as a project associate at United Nations University in Tokyo.

About the series

The Global Institutions Series provides cutting-edge books about many aspects of what we know as global governance. It emerges from our shared frustrations with the state of available knowledgeelectronic and print-wise, for research and teachingin the area. The series is designed as a resource for those interested in exploring issues of international organization and global governance. And since the first volumes appeared in 2005, we have taken significant strides toward filling conceptual gaps.

The series consists of three related streams distinguished by their blue, red, and green covers. The blue volumes, comprising the majority of the books in the series, provide user-friendly and short (usually no more than 50,000 words) but authoritative guides to major global and regional organizations, as well as key issues in the global governance of security, the environment, human rights, poverty, and humanitarian action among others. The books with red covers are designed to present original research and serve as extended and more specialized treatments of issues pertinent for advancing understanding about global governance. And the volumes with green coversthe most recent departure in the seriesare comprehensive and accessible accounts of the major theoretical approaches to global governance and international organization.

The books in each of the streams are written by experts in the field, ranging from the most senior and respected authors to first-rate scho-lars at the beginning of their careers. In combination, the three com-ponents of the seriesblue, red, and greenserve as key resources for faculty, students, and practitioners alike. The works in the blue and green streams have value as core and complementary readings in courses on, among other things, international organization, global governance, international law, international relations, and international political economy; the red volumes allow further reflection and investigation in these and related areas.

The books in the series also provide a segue to the foundation volume that offers the most comprehensive textbook treatment available dealing with all the major issues, approaches, institutions, and actors in contemporary global governanceour edited work Interna-tional Organization and Global Governance (2014)a volume to which many of the authors in the series have contributed essays.

Understanding global governancepast, present, and futureis far from a finished journey. The books in this series nonetheless represent significant steps toward a better way of conceiving contemporary pro-blems and issues as well as, hopefully, doing something to improve world order. We value the feedback from our readers and their role in helping shape the on-going development of the series.
