Secretary or General?（ISBN=9780521699587） 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

The Secretary-General of the United Nations is a unique figure

in world politics. At once civil servant, the world's diplomat,

lackey of the UN Security Council, and commander-in-chief of up to

a hundred thousand peacekeepers, he or she depends on states for

both the legitimacy and resources that enable the United Nations to

function. The tension between these roles - of being secretary or

general - has challenged every incumbent. This book brings together

the insights of senior UN staff, diplomats and scholars to examine

the normative and political factors that shape this unique office

with particular emphasis on how it has evolved in response to

changing circumstances such as globalization and the onset of the

'war on terror'. The difficulties experienced by each

Secretary-General reflect the profound ambivalence of states

towards entrusting their security, interests or resources to an

intergovernmental body.
