We the Peoples: Democracy and the un

Synopsis: Looks at the role of the United Nations since the end of the cold war. The UN, as an agency of geo-governance, has acquired a revitalised global security role, which it is presently ill-equipped to perform. The failure of the UN to maintain and enforce peace in recent years, whether in Somalia, Bosnia or Rwanda, suggests that there are limits to the democratisation of global order and the prospects for democracy within existing and emerging scenes of conflict. The programme highlights the crisis of the UN in is role of geo-governance, the debate about its reform, and how its future evolution will have important consequences for the realisation of a more democratic world order.
