{"product_id":"9780253000163","title":"Preventive Diplomacy at the UN","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe concept of preventive diplomacy has captivated the United Nations\u003cbr\u003e since it was first articulated by Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld a half-century\u003cbr\u003e ago. Successive generations of diplomats and statesmen have invested in the idea\u003cbr\u003e that diplomatic efforts might be able to head off international conflicts and\u003cbr\u003e disasters. Dramatic successes, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, contrast\u003cbr\u003e with dramatic failures, such as the inability of UN efforts to halt the invasion of\u003cbr\u003e Iraq in 2003. In this careful study, distinguished former UN civil servant Bertrand\u003cbr\u003e G. Ramcharan traces the history of the practice of preventive diplomacy by UN\u003cbr\u003e Secretaries-General, the Security Council, and other UN organizations, and assesses\u003cbr\u003e the record of preventive diplomacy and examines its prospects in an age of genocide\u003cbr\u003e and terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120430694640,"sku":"9780253000163","price":21.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253000163","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
