{"product_id":"9780253110985","title":"Terrorism and the UN: Before and After September 11","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow has the United Nations dealt with the question of terrorism before\u003cbr\u003e and after September 11? What does it mean that the UN itself has become a target of\u003cbr\u003e terrorism? Terrorism and the UN analyzes how the UN's role in dealing with terrorism\u003cbr\u003e has been shaped over the years by the international system, and how events such as\u003cbr\u003e September 11 and the American intervention in Iraq have reoriented its approach to\u003cbr\u003e terrorism. The first half of the book addresses the international context. Chapters\u003cbr\u003e in this part consider the impact of September 11 on the UN's concern for the rights\u003cbr\u003e and security of states relative to those of individuals, as well as the changing\u003cbr\u003e attitudes of various Western powers toward multilateral vs. unilateral approaches to\u003cbr\u003e international problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second half of the book focuses more\u003cbr\u003e closely on the UN, its values, mechanisms, and history and its future role in\u003cbr\u003e preventing and reacting to terrorism. The Security Council's position on and\u003cbr\u003e reactions to terrorist activities are contrasted with the General Assembly's\u003cbr\u003e approach to these issues. What role the UN might play in suppressing the political\u003cbr\u003e economy of terrorism is considered. A concluding chapter looks at broader, more\u003cbr\u003e proactive strategies for addressing the root causes of terrorism, with an emphasis\u003cbr\u003e on social justice as a key to conflict prevention, a primary concern of the UN,\u003cbr\u003e particularly the General Assembly, before September\u003cbr\u003e 11.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors are Jane Boulden, Chantal de Jonge Oudraat\u003cbr\u003e (Georgetown University), Edward C.
