It needs the United States. And the United States needs the UN as well. The disintegration of postwar Iraq has shown that Washington, for all its sole-superpower status, can win the war militarily only to find itself losing the peace. Even the most unilateralist White House in decades has begun to see that reality. Can the two institutions, as currently constituted, work together? It won't be easy." (AMERICAN PROSPECT) The author describes how the United Nations could be more effective using Iraq and other conflict zones as examples.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
