The project began as an effort to research and write a ten-year-later sequel to \u003cem\u003eThe Challenge of Relevance\u003c\/em\u003e written by Puchala and Coate in 1989. This earlier volume was an assessment of the United Nations and its operations in the late eighties. United Nations Politics builds from a series of some 200 interviews conducted at the UN and in various member-state missions between 2000 and 2005. Among other things, these interviews revealed that the existing English-language literature on the UN fails to take into appropriate account the dynamics and the impacts of the internal and external political contexts within which the UN operates. This book directly addresses this shortcoming in the academic literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Puchala, Katie Verlin Laatikainen, Roger Coate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0131727656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780131727656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.06w x 0.52d","brand":"Donald Puchala","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056634130687,"sku":"9780131727656","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc05d776-b9d1-4fc2-9bc1-cecfa66491bc.jpg?v=1685042407","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/united-nations-politics-donald-puchala-9780131727656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
