Evolution of the United Nations System

Contributors from Japan, Korea, and China explore the reaction of the United Nations to emerging global issues.

A collaboration between the Japan Association for United Nations Studies with the Korea Academic Council on the United Nations System and the China Academic Net for United Nations Studies, this book presents a range of perspectives from both academics and practitioners. The areas explored and discussed include global governance, peace and security, global health governance, global citizenship, nuclear disarmament, and the Sustainable Development Goals. In particular and among other issues it addresses both the coordination of COVID-19 management and responses to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

An invaluable, diverse, and concertedly non-Western approach to the challenges facing the UN.
