Would the World Be Better Without the UN?

A number of student tickets are available. For more information, please contact events@cceia.org.

Do we need the United Nations? Where would the contemporary world be without its largest intergovernmental organization? And where could it be had the UN’s member states and staff performed better?

These fundamental questions are explored by the leading analyst of UN history and politics, Thomas G. Weiss, in his new book Would The World Be Better Without the UN?While counterfactuals are often dismissed as academic contrivances, they can serve to focus the mind; and here, Professor Weiss uses them to ably demonstrate the pluses and minuses of multilateral cooperation and argues that the inward-looking and populist movements in electoral politics worldwide make robust multilateralism more, not less, compelling.
