Reviews
'In UN Reform: 75 Years of Challenge and Change, Stephen Browne, a United Nations (UN) veteran with many years of experience working in the UN development system and the founder of the Future United Nations Development System (FUNDS), delves into the inner workings of UN institutions, offering a highly insightful as well as empirically rich explanation of the UN's inability to reform since its inception 75 years ago.' -- Giuseppe Zaccaria, The International Spectator 'In UN Reform: 75 Years of Challenge and Change, Stephen Browne revisits the UN reform debate in a way that might actually make for effective change - provided enough people within, and outside of, the organisation read his book and adhere to its valuable advice.' -- Suzanne Graham, South African Journal of International Affairs 'A useful resource for UN experts.' -- S Waalkes, Choice 'Stephen Browne, himself a veteran who toiled in the UN trenches, has written an important account of the struggles within the UN to change and reinvent itself.' -- Lord Mark Malloch Brown, Former UN Deputy Secretary-General 'Stephen Browne has analyzed why the UN is so necessary yet such a relic. Reform has been under way since the ink dried on the Charter, yet the results are demonstrably inadequate for the problems of the second decade of the twenty-first century. Remarkable for its breadth and depth, this book could not be more timely, a compelling read for practitioners and scholars.' -- Thomas G. Weiss, The CUNY Graduate Center, US
