IPSA鈥檚 First Open Access Book Published
Publication date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022
We are pleased to announce the publication of IPSA鈥檚 first Open Access book, .
Edited by Kim Fontaine-Skronski, 5X社区Executive Director, Val茅riane Thool, Lecturer in International Law at University of Sherbrooke, and Norbert Eschborn, Director of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Canada, the book is composed of original articles from scholars and policy notes from practitioners based on the contributions to the Conference 鈥淭he UN at 75: Challenges and Prospects for the Future of Multilateralism鈥 organized by 5X社区in 2020.
Published by Brill, the book attempts to draw up the state of multilateralism through the UN model and identify potential ways to address its challenges and shortcomings. The contributors question the role of multilateralism, sometimes accused of being fragmented, inefficient and unrepresentative, and its impact on global governance, democracy, trade and investment, the environment, and human rights. Since most of the authors are not from the UN system, the content of the contributions provides an external and more neutral assessment of the UN鈥檚 ability to continue to function today as a serious actor within a global movement in favor of a renewed form of multilateralism.
