R. Bowles The Diplomacy Of Hope: The United Nations Since The Cold War, I. B. Tauris, 2004. JZ4984.5.B69 2004 Will the United Nations survive the convulsions over the US-led attack on Iraq and its aftermath? How will it respond to the worldwide threat of terrorism? This book shows these crises as the latest chapter in the struggle for peace and stability. Its authoritative and discursive analysis of today's United Nations provides a clear and refreshing insight into what has gone wrong as well as what is right about the organization. While focusing on a post-Soviet world now firmly set in the turbulent twenty-first century, the book traces the genesis of the current major concerns facing the UN back to their origins during the infancy of the UN. It sets out a full yet concise account of UN security (peace-building) doctrine and action; of disarmament strategies (from weapons of mass destruction to small arms); of its criminal jurisdiction; of human rights issues; of globalization and poverty contradictions; and of UN financing worries. The book also explores how the UN works, or does not, and describes how the tension between the elite Security Council and all-inclusive General Assembly can frustrate decisive action.

Paul
Marshall, Editor Radical Islam's Rules: The Worldwide Spread Of Extreme Shari'a Law, Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2005. KMC114.R34 2005 A major feature of the rise
of Islamism in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and parts of the West is
the current rapid growth of a starkly repressive version of shari'a ,
Islamic law. In this book, noted human rights activists and scholars trace
the growth of such law in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, Nigeria,
Malaysia, and Indonesia, show its threat to the status of women, religious
freedom, and democracy itself, and suggest how we should respond. |
