Security, International -- United Nation - Security Council

Indeks : p. 195 - 197 ; p. 182 - 194 ; This book describes the rules governing international security decision-making and examines the different understandings of collective security in the post-Cold War world. The post-Cold War world has largely been a struggle over which rules govern global security. Discussions and decisions following the events of 9/11 have highlighted differences and disputes in the United Nations Security Council. Where Russia, China, and France prefer ?procedural? collective security, in which all enforcement attempts must be explicitly authorized by the Security Council, the US and Britain prefer ?substantive? collective security, in which particular countries can sometimes take it upon themselves to enforce the rules of the global community. This book explores these questions by analyzing the actions of the UN Security COuncil since the cold war. Often the members of the Security Council have collaborated to deal with transnational security threats, sometimes in unprecedented ways.
