The Oxford Handbook on the United Nations

I find this book very useful for my research.

After reading approximately a quarter of the Handbook, I am very impressed by the richness of the most contributions in this book that explain the historical context, the development, and the interconnections, tensions as well as trends between different actors, organs, and ideas that all contribute to the complex organization of the UN. I would recommend this handbook to students of International Relations that aim to get a comprehensive understanding of the history, mechanisms, and dynamics of the UN before focusing on a particular subject of study within the UN. As you may see in the last picture, the binding could have been more accurate, however for me it is not a big deal and I assume it is an exception.
