A Seat at the Table: New Zealand and the United Nations Security Council 2015 2016 (A Seat at the Table: NZ and the United Nations Security Council, 2015-2016) - Softcover

This fascinating look at global politics follows New Zealand&;s fourth term as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, from 2015 to 2016. Its engrossing chapters by key players, from the then Minister for Foreign Affairs Murray McCully to the two-term New Zealand President of the Security Council Gerard van Bohemen, offer real insights into the Council&;s day-to-day workings. This book examines New Zealand&;s efforts to improve Council processes, and asks: Given the dominance of the P5&;the United States, China, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom&;is there a role on the Security Council for smaller nations? And can they effect meaningful change for those suffering in war-torn and corrupt countries?
