The United Nations and Changing World Politics

Markus Thiel

Despite the homogenizing effect of globalization, identity politics have gained significance¿numerous groups have achieved political goals and gained recognition based on, for example, their common gender, religion, ethnicity, or disability. Are each of these groups unique, or can comparisons be drawn among them? What is the impact of globalization on identity politics? The authors of Identity Politics offer a comprehensive analytical framework and detailed case studies to explain how identity-based collectives both exploit and are shaped by the new realities of a globalized world.

Identity Politics in the Age of Globalization

The Twentieth Century Fund and Wilton Park cosponsored a conference on the United Nations to address issues of international concern. A large group of scholars, diplomats, and UN officials addressed such issues as the problems and unfulfilled promise of the specialized and functional agencies; focusing on the potential for reforming their staffing, management, financing, program integration, and organization. This book presents essays that were presented at, or were the product of, the conference in 1993.
