What Is Global Governance
changes that have been occurring both in the dynamics of relations in the world of states and in understandings of those dynamics. In the first issue of this journal, for example, UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali emphasized the internationalization of the problems of human rights and democracy, previously thought of as issues for states to deal with within their own boundaries. He also demonstrated how the pursuit of democracy as an int…
What War in Europe? The Implications of Legitimate Stability
Fear that war might occur between East and West in Europe persists even after Mikhail Gorbachev's dramatic announcement that the USSR would cut its armed forces by 500,000 men and reduce and restructure Soviet forces stationed in East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. That fear has long been exaggerated. Such a war has been and remains a most unlikely eventuality for reasons only secondarily related to Gorbachev's effect on Soviet military do…
Politics in the United Nations System
Politics in the United Nations reflects the predominant discord and occasional convergence among the members of the UN system as they view the international problems of our times through lenses of their geographic, historical, ideological, religious, and ethnic diversity. The contributors to this book describe how, since the United Nations was founded more than forty years ago, the UN system has changed to accommodate the varied interests of its …

International Cooperation in a Changing World
It was above all to avoid the recurrence after World War II of threats to world peace and order that the United States set out to design and bring into being the United Nations and the congeries of related agencies. “From the very beginning,” says the report of the American delegation to the United Nations Conference on International Organization at San Francisco, “the problems of post-war peace and security were paramount.” This seemingly obviou…
Collective Security
The United Nations
“We do not want to entrust to five great Powers or to two great Powers the task of deciding ... what our common destiny will be...”. To anyone who attended the great assemblage gathered at San Francisco in 1945 to write the Charter for the United Nations, these words have a familiar ring. Indeed, they might have been uttered (and no doubt were ad nauseam ) by small-power representatives during the seemingly interminable debates over the rule of u…
New Trends in International Affairs
The impulse to question the conventional wisdom about world problems has in recent years reflected the perfectly normal dissatisfaction with the way things were going. The temptation has been great to question the rationality of a system preserved against disastrous collapse only, it seemed, by shared knowledge of how disastrous the consequences of collapse would be. (One is reminded of the young lady at the ball who was asked by her escort what …
Discussions and Reviews
The United Nations and Organizations for the Control of Armaments
The arms control and disarmament issues on which there is no agreement are numerous and important. The purpose of this article is not to go over what is by now too familiar ground, but rather to examine the little considered question of the relationship contemplated between the United Nations and agencies that may be created to administer arms control or disarmament arrangements
United States Relations with Southeast Asia with Special Reference to Indochina 1950-1955
Improving the Policy-making Processes
National Policies and Attitudes Toward the United Nations
Seven years have passed since the UN Charter was signed in San Francisco in the month of June 1945. In that short time, events have disproved some of the most important assumptions about the postwar world on which the 1945 decisions were based. Efforts have been made, notably in the improvisations of the Korea police action, in the creation of the Interim Committee, and in the Uniting for Peace Resolution, to adapt the structure conceived at San …
Principles and Methods of Colonial Administration
The Indonesian Federal Problem
pRESSING day-to-day issues have submerged longer-range questions of form and structure of government since Indonesia's unitarian structure was instituted in August i950; yet, after a year of experience with the new system, the prospect of efforts at constitutional reform seems more likely. National elections, looking to the creation of a Constituent Assembly,' are being prepared,2 although they probably cannot be held before i952. Under the const…
The Family Revolution in Modern China
US at Impasse in Southeast Asia
the realization that it has important interests in that area. At other times, before 1940 and in the years immediately following the Pacific war, continuing American interests in the area have not seemed sufficiently great either to engage the official concern of the United States government or to attract the attention of the American public. It is difficult to calculate with any degree of precision the extent to which the national interests of t…
Mandates, Dependencies and Trusteeship
Trusteeship in Action
Since the United Nations Charter was agreed upon at San Francisco, with its provisions for a system of trusteeship for certain dependent territories, there has been considerable conjecture concerning the impact which this new machinery might have on “the colonial problem.” Extravagant claims have been made that this crystallization of the concept of collective responsibility was a panacea, that it could provide a suitable resolution for the force…
