the most dynamic, ambitious, <strong>and</strong> controversial institutions in contemporary world<br />
politics. The new edition of this sucessful work has been fully updated to reflect the<br />
current agenda of the Council, including new material on peacebuilding, gender<br />
based <strong>and</strong> sexual violence, <strong>and</strong> the responsiblity to protect, UN Security Council is<br />
essential reading for those with interests in international peace <strong>and</strong> security <strong>and</strong><br />
