It describes what the UN does and how it operates today, and examines the reforms needed to make multilateralism succeed by making the word body a more effective force in contemporary politics. Since the 1950s the working of the UN has been greatly affected by the advent of new members from the Third World, the impact of changing superpower relations which have diminished or enhanced its role from time to time, the problems it has faced in peacekeeping, the budgetary crises it has faced over the years, the chronic political conflicts, once mainly between the East and the West and now between the North and the South, the new emerging world order after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the strategic implications of the demise of the Cold War.
