As the Twenty-First Century Marches on, the global community is confronted with a number of complex issues, including climate change, poverty, epidemics, and terrorism. Despite its imperfections, the United Nations remains the primary international organization for addressing these challenges. The United Nations: Leadership and Challenges in a Global World explores the history, structure, and activities of this most vital institution. The series will help students understand the problems the organization faces-such as international discord and its own complex bureaucracy-as well as the UN's promise of global solidarity and security. The approach the United Nations takes in supporting cultural diversity is explored in this volume. From health care and poverty reduction to environmental stewardship and protecting religious freedom-the UN plays an important role in supporting the welfare of peoples around the world. Cultural Globalization and Celebrating Diversity will help students understand the ways the UN performs this vital function. Book jacket.
