{"product_id":"the-united-nations-peace-and-ramesh-thakur-9781316627723","title":"The United Nations, Peace and Security: From Collective Security to the Responsibility to Protect","description":"Ending humanitarian atrocities has become as important for the United Nations as preventing interstate war. This book examines the transformation of UN operations, analysing its changing role and structure. Ramesh Thakur asks why, when and how force may be used, and argues that the growing gulf between legality and legitimacy is evidence of an eroded sense of international community. He considers the tension between the United States, with its capacity to use force and project power, and the United Nations, as the centre of the international law enforcement system. He asserts the central importance of the rule of law and a rules-based order focused on the United Nations as the foundation of a civilised system of international relations. This book will be of interest to students of the United Nations and international organisations in politics, law and international relations departments, as well as policymakers in governmental and non-governmental international organisations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ramesh Thakur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316627721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316627723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Ramesh Thakur","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996218523903,"sku":"9781316627723","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ac4a912-042e-4582-86c8-41947b689381.jpg?v=1683340425","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-united-nations-peace-and-ramesh-thakur-9781316627723","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
