Literature on the United Nations is as wide-ranging as the organisation's remit; there exists a multitude of books, articles and reports on its various programmes and activities. Indeed, the very breadth of literature about the organisation can make it hard to navigate and understand. The format of this Major Work is ideally suited to a serious treatment of the United Nations that can clarify and illuminate its structures and role, and make it accessible to scholars and practitioners. The generous eight-volume format of this collection, along containing the best cross-disciplinary articles from around the world, provides an opportunity to present a comparative and holistic analysis of the organisation. Framed by a contextualising introductory chapter, this Major Work deeply explores and elaborates on the United Nations' humanitatian, developmental, environmental and peace and security work. Volume One: Origins and Evolution Volume Two: Principal Organs Volume Three: Roles and Relationships Volume Four: A UN for the 21st Century Volume Five: Conflict & Crisis Volume Six: Rights, Justice and Protection Volume Seven: Poverty & Development Volume Eight: Environment and Sustainability
