After grappling for two decades with the realities of  the post–Cold War era, the UN Security Council must now meet the challenges of a resurgence of great power rivalry. Reflecting this new environment, The UN Security Council in the 21st Century provides a comprehensive view of the council's internal dynamics, its role and relevance in world politics, and its performance in addressing today's major security challenges.

Review:

This is likely to be a cornerstone of the scholarly literature on the United Nations.... An essential volume. (David Cortright, University of Notre Dame)

A very welcome addition to the literature on the UN Security Council.... It is of particular value given the excellent quality of the contributors and the fact that they include both academics and practitioners. (Courtney B. Smith, Seaton Hall University)

Indispensable for students and scholars interested in just about any aspect of the UNSC. (Choice)
