Zusammenfassung:There is a growing movement among non-governmental organizations and less powerful countries to reform and expand multilateral architectures of global governance in general and in the United Nations in particular. Cooper (political science, U. of Waterloo, Canada), English (history, U. of Waterloo), and Thakur (peace and governance, United Nations U., Japan) present fifteen articles that explain the nature of this movement and assess the forms of diplomacy used to establish a global governance that is no longer in thrall to the dictates of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. Discussions of why the United States is the single largest obstacle to multilateralism, the reasons for the growing frustration with the permanent members of the Security Council, and the forms of multilateralism proposed precede more particular examinations of how these dynamics are playing out in relation to efforts to establish international treaties banning land mines or setting up the International Criminal Court.
