Abstract:

For the time being, many are withholding judgment on the U.N.’s role in the post-Cold War world. If the organization can reform itself, reduce its economic and social missions to a manageable size, and accomplish its tasks efficiently, then its stature in world affairs would be enhanced. If not, the U.N. is doomed to permanent irrelevance.
