“I salute this book because it helps us to understand the crucial importance of the
UN in tackling the considerable challenges facing the world today. Tom Weiss has
engagingly and honestly asked a very tough question - Would the World Be Better
without the UN? His negative reply is an indispensable guide for anyone worried about
the future of the planet and of the UN.”
Kofi A. Annan, former UN Secretary-General
“If you can read only one book on the UN, this is it: why the UN matters, what it needs
to do better, and what we need to do to make that happen.”
Craig Murphy, Wellesley College and University of Massachusetts Boston
Do we need the United Nations? Where would the contemporary world be without its
largest intergovernmental organization? And where might it be had the UN’s member
states and staff performed better?
These fundamental questions are explored in this hard-hitting, authoritative book by
the leading analyst of UN history and politics, Thomas G. Weiss. While counterfactuals
are often dismissed as academic contrivances, they can serve to focus the mind; and,
here, Weiss uses them ably to demonstrate the pluses and minuses of multilateral
cooperation. He is not shy about UN achievements and failures drawn from its ideas
and operations in its three substantive pillars of activities: international peace and
security,· human rights and humanitarian action; and sustainable development. But,
he argues, the inward-looking and populist movements in electoral politics worldwide
make robust multilateralism more, not less compelling. The selection of Antonio
Guterres as the ninth UN secretary-general should rekindle critical thinking about the
potential for international cooperation. There is a desperate need to reinvigorate and
update rather than jettison the UN in responding to threats from climate change to
pandemics, from proliferation to terrorism. Weiss tells you why and how.
THOMAS G. WEISS is Presidential Professor of Political Science at the City University
of New York’s Graduate Center and Director Emeritus of the Ralph Bunche Institute for
International Studies.
