Derived from a Kirkus review: The Vatican as an International Crisis Center, with the Pope and a corps of clerical diplomats manning the telex machines, dashing around the globe on emergency missions, trying to bring peace to belligerent states and order to the Church. Thomas and Morgan-Witts are old Vatican hands (since '63). They now turn to Mehmet Ali Agca and the Bulgarian Connection, Papa Wojtyla's duels with the Jaruzelski government and Moscow, the strong CIA presence in Rome, efforts at intervention in Lebanon and Guatemala, etc. The authors provide inside information garnered from people like the head of Vatican security, Camillo Cibin. Their report is crammed with detailed little items of some interest and at least one large question mark (secret agent Frank Terpil's part in the assassination plot). Gordon Thomas (1933-2017) was a British investigative journalist and author, notably on topics of secret intelligence. Thomas was the author of 53 books published worldwide including The Pope's Jews, Secret Wars and Gideon's Spies. Thomas had his first story published at nine years old in a Boy's Own Paper competition. With his father in the RAF, he travelled widely and was educated at the Cairo High School, the Maritz Brothers and, lastly, at Bedford Modern School. His first book, completed at the age of seventeen, is the story of a British spy in Russia during World War II, titled Descent Into Danger. His books have been published worldwide. He has been a foreign correspondent beginning with the Suez Crisis and ending with the first Gulf War. He was a BBC writer/producer for three flagship BBC programs. He lectured widely on the secret world of intelligence. He also provided expert analysis on intelligence for US and European television and radio programs. His book Gideon's Spies: Mossad's Secret Warriors became a major documentary for Channel Four. It followed three years of research during which he was given access to Mossad's main personnel. Gideon's Spies: Mossad's Secret Warriors has so far been published in 16 languages. A source for this book was Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli intelligence agent, and Israeli spy Rafi Eitan. Max Morgan-Witts (born 27 September 1931) is a British producer, director and author of Canadian origin. Morgan-Witts was a Director/Producer at Granada TV. He directed television shows for Granada. After Granada TV, Morgan-Witts moved to BBC TV, where he was responsible for documentary programs. These included 14 one-hour episodes of the The British Empire, a historical documentary series. It was filmed in 40 countries and at the time was the most expensive and ambitious documentary series the BBC had made. He was Director and Producer of many one-hour film documentaries made for peak time viewing on BBC One, most of which he wrote himself but for one of which he hired Gordon Thomas. This was the beginning of their writing partnership. Morgan-Witts wrote 10 non-fiction books with Thomas, four of which were made into feature films, including Enola Gay: The Men, the Mission, the Atomic Bomb, which was first a four-hour NBC special and then re-cut as a feature. Another was Voyage of the Damned, a highly rated feature film which is frequently repeated on TV worldwide. Morgan-Witts has been awarded the Edgar Allan Poe Award and is a Knight of Mark Twain., Doubleday, 1984, B.R. Publishing Corporation, 1989. First edition. Hardcover. New. The Ganga Action Plan is based on an in-depth study of the pollution sources from where sewage discharge flows into the Ganga along with half cremated human bodies In the industrial areas of Howrah, Calcutta and Kanpur the Ganga has become highly polluted and this has caused a large number of fish to perish Further, those who eat fish from the waters of the Ganga become the victims of serious stomach ailments and other critical diseases The mercury and lead content of the effluents have poisoned the entire food chain along the banks of the Ganga According to an earlier study undertaken by the Central Board for Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, the discharge of untreated sewage from class I towns (population of more than 1 lakh) located along the banks of the Ganga is the principal source of pollution since the local municipalities are not equipped with adequate plants and installation of subsidised electric crematoria away from the Ganga. The Ganga Action Plan envisaged the prevention of this pollution by intercepting and diverting about 900 million litres of untreated sewage every day which were usually discharged in the river The Ganga Action Plan has a budget of Rs 292.31 crore for its broad programme of 259 schemes so far identified covering 27 cities of UP Bihar and West Bengal The allocation during the Seventh Five Year Plan 1985 90 for these schemes has been Rs 240 crores The Government has also sanctioned construction of 28 electric crematoria at Hardwar, Kanpur, Allahabad, Patna, Monghyr, Bhagalpur, Berhampur, Nabadwip, and different parts of the Calcutta metropolis on the banks of the Hooghly river. In Varanasi, an electric crematorium is being constructed by the UP Government As for the problem of haft burnt or unburnt human bodies being thrown into the Ganga, apart from the social customs and religious beliefs, one of the principal reasons is the high cost and scarcity of wood for cremation. The Ganga should not be the permanent dumping ground for wastes of all kinds, if we mean to keep the Ganga clean But there are more ecological issues involved that the book talks about regarding a better solution to the problem.

Few people may realize that Long Island is still home to American Indians, the region's original inhabitants. One of the oldest reservations in the United StatesÑthe Poospatuck ReservationÑis located in Suffolk County, the densely populated eastern extreme of the greater New York area. The Unkechaug Indians, known also by the name of their reservation, are recognized by the State of New York but not by the federal government. This narrative accountÑwritten by a noted authority on the Algonquin peoples of Long IslandÑis the first comprehensive history of the Unkechaug Indians. Drawing on archaeological and documentary sources, John A. Strong traces the story of the Unkechaugs from their ancestral past, predating the arrival of Europeans, to the present day. He describes their first encounters with British settlers, who introduced to New England's indigenous peoples guns, blankets, cloth, metal tools, kettles, as well as disease and alcohol. Although granted a large reservation in perpetuity, the Unkechaugs were, like many Indian tribes, the victims of broken promises, and their landholdings diminished from several thousand acres to fifty-five. Despite their losses, the Unkechaugs have persisted in maintaining their cultural traditions and autonomy by taking measures to boost their economy, preserve their language, strengthen their communal bonds, and defend themselves against legal challenges. In early histories of Long Island, the Unkechaugs figured only as a colorful backdrop to celebratory stories of British settlement. Strong's account, which includes extensive testimony from tribal members themselves, brings the Unkechaugs out of the shadows of history and establishes a permanent record of their struggle to survive as a distinct community., University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2016, Ashgate Publishing Limited, UK, 2004.

The decline in central financing for Russia's nuclear complex and the known interest of terrorist groups in acquiring fissile material and technologies, has made the state of Russia's far-flung nuclear enterprises a pressing international issue. In this important volume, a group of leading US and Russian policy experts - drawing on extensive interviews with officials, facility personnel, and analysts in Russia's regions - explores the intersecting problems of Russian nuclear insecurity and decentralization, including the growing influence of regional political and economic forces. The work presents insights into both nuclear safety issues and post-Soviet intra-agency governance, as well as detailed case studies of critical nuclear regions: the Far East, the Urals, Siberia, and the Volga area. The volume also offers major new findings on the interface linking Russia's evolving center-periphery relations, its ailing nuclear facilities, and the role played by foreign assistance providers.

The authors - Russian and American - are all knowledgeable and many have direct experience in the nuclear field. The scholarship is of the highest quality, backed by authoritative sources. No other full-length work examines the nuclear issue in the context of Russia's regions. Preventing Nuclear Meltdown is a real contribution to our understanding of Russia's evolving federalism.' Charles E. Ziegler, University of Louisville, USA 'An interesting study not just of proliferation and Russian politics, but of the dynamics of federalism as well...Highly recommended.' Choice '...the book makes a strong case for closer attention to the problems that nuclear facilities spread over the vast Russian territory have to deal with.' The Russian Review 'The book's strength lies in the depth of the research conducted and the importance of the topic being pursued...As a first, detailed study of this problem, this is an important work...These analysts have done a fine job laying the foundation for further empirical study and theorizing.' Slavic Review '...this book is one of those rare edited volumes that is extremely well researched and well thorught out with consistently high quality throughout that is a must read for those concerned with nuclear and/or Russian issues. It provides the reader with everything they need to know about Russia's nuclear complex but were afraid to ask (because some of the answers you may not wish to hear).'

Christopher Allmand shows that Henry V not only united the country in war but also provided domestic security, solid government, and a much-needed sense of national pride. The book includes an updated foreword which takes stock of more recent publications in the field., University of California Press, 1993, This work examines the infrastructure behind the academic discipline of African History. By looking at government reports, a selection of reflective essays and memoirs written by key historians, and the key precolonial sources that have driven select studies, my thesis explains how African History emerged in British and U.S. universities. Key factors include the Englishcolonisation of Sierra Leone in 1787, the affiliation of Fourah Bay College with the University of Durham in 1876, and the creation of universities in 1948 in Nigeria, Sudan, Uganda and Ghana. In Britain, the importance of African territories resulted in a series of influential reports that shifted missionary controlled education on the African continent to colonial government control. After 1945 a series of pivotal government reports established the impetus and funding for the academic institutionalisation of African History in the United Kingdom. The influence of anEnglish academic recognition of African History provided a transnational current of ideas that flowed between Africa and the United Kingdom, and from there to the United States. With the advent of the Cold War the United States recognised the importance of developing Area Studies programmes, including African Studies, and during the 1960s and 1970s became world leaders in the field. Crucial to this development was the role of pioneering historians who travelled to Africa to teach and research, and who then returned to train a new generation of Africanists. Africanist scholars, recognising the importance of African agency, expanded the shape of the discipline through investigation of oral sources and reexamination of extant pre1800 European written records. 'Charter historians' established university programmes that would produce scholars with the necessary skills required to sustain the new discipline. The infrastructure that undergirded and positioned African History in the mainstream of academia is analysed indepth, and is, as such, the central theme of this thesis., Victoria University of Wellington, 2008, Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt.

The Central Structure of the Mughal Empire is the most complete work describing the organization of the administrative machinery of the central structure of the Mughal government under Akbar and his two immediate successors, Jahangir and Shah Jahan. It covers the period between the year 1560, when Akbar began to rule and the year 1657 when Shah Jahan ceased to rule. As has been rightly pointed out by Sir Dension Ross in his Foreword to the volume, Ibn Hasan's work 'must always for a companion volume to the Ain-i-Akbari, and it will be studied by all serious students of Mughal history.' The assessment of Sir Dension Ross is not an exaggeration since the book covers the whole ground in a manner never before attempted and the author has based the work entirely on original sources both in the MS form or the printed ones. These sources include the chronicles of the period, contemporary Persian works and manuscripts on the various aspects of administration of the Mughal empire, collections of letters and correspondence, biographies and works on political theory by Muslim jurists and other writers besides the European travellers' records and modern works. Some of the original sources have been utilized for the first time in the present work; for instance Chahar Chaman by Chandra Bhan Brahman, a contemporary writer during Shah Jahan's reign, which ranks second only to Akbar Nama from the point of view of its utility for the practical knowledge of the administration of Shah Jahan's reign, has been taken into account for the first time in the present book. The book is divided into three parts; the first dealing with the king and his position in the state and the transaction of the state business by him. The second part deals with the reorganization of the vizarat under Akbar and besides describing the powers and functions of the ministers as heads of departments also includes the description and analysis of the internal working of each department substantiating the analysis by the historical facts of the period. The third part deals with the judicial system of the empire while the fourth and the last chapter summarizes the conclusions. Underlying Ibn Hasan's analysis is the thesis that Akbar's policy was derived from the experience of the past and he not only devised a system which contributed to the prosperity of his subjects-both the Hindus and the Muslims alike-but also solved the problem of the vizarat and the nobility thereby resulting in the continuation of the policy under his successors Jahangir and Shah Jahan., Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt.

The International Civil Service of the United Nations is not fully aligned with the compelling demands of the 21st century. Once reputed as one of the most attractive organisations to work due to its noble objectives, global outreach, and attractive conditions of service, the world body has been fast losing its lustre and pulling power and its ability to perform. As a result, the organisation has been sustaining loss in its ability to deliver on its principles, purposes and mandates in a timely, efficient and effective fashion and in its good will, image and reputation. If it does not pursue far-reaching reforms urgently, particularly in the area of human resource management (HRM), the United Nations will surely decline and become irrelevant not too far into the future. This book identifies strategic issues facing the HRM of the world body, analyses their impacts on its performance, suggests remedies to address these lacunas and proposes measures to make the entity competitive, efficient, and effective. It tells you where you need to strengthen UN`s HRM, where to make cutbacks, and where to remove duplication and overlaps. Frequent references to the HRM of the European Commission and national governments gives a refreshing taste of best practices. This volume will make an interesting read for general readers and a great source of information for experts and professionals. In particular, it is a must-read for politicians and diplomats as a reference source, for UN staff to have a better perspective of their HRM, and for academics and students of international relations, diplomacy and political science in universities and colleges as a textbook and reference material. There is a special chapter to assist prospective new entrants seeking a career with the United Nations. Printed Pages: 434., Academic Foundation, 2009<

Derived from a Kirkus review: The Vatican as an International Crisis Center, with the Pope and a corps of clerical diplomats manning the telex machines, dashing around the globe on emergency missions, trying to bring peace to belligerent states and order to the Church. Thomas and Morgan-Witts are old Vatican hands (since '63). They now turn to Mehmet Ali Agca and the Bulgarian Connection, Papa Wojtyla's duels with the Jaruzelski government and Moscow, the strong CIA presence in Rome, efforts at intervention in Lebanon and Guatemala, etc. The authors provide inside information garnered from people like the head of Vatican security, Camillo Cibin. Their report is crammed with detailed little items of some interest and at least one large question mark (secret agent Frank Terpil's part in the assassination plot). Gordon Thomas (1933-2017) was a British investigative journalist and author, notably on topics of secret intelligence. Thomas was the author of 53 books published worldwide including The Pope's Jews, Secret Wars and Gideon's Spies. Thomas had his first story published at nine years old in a Boy's Own Paper competition. With his father in the RAF, he travelled widely and was educated at the Cairo High School, the Maritz Brothers and, lastly, at Bedford Modern School. His first book, completed at the age of seventeen, is the story of a British spy in Russia during World War II, titled Descent Into Danger. His books have been published worldwide. He has been a foreign correspondent beginning with the Suez Crisis and ending with the first Gulf War. He was a BBC writer/producer for three flagship BBC programs. He lectured widely on the secret world of intelligence. He also provided expert analysis on intelligence for US and European television and radio programs. His book Gideon's Spies: Mossad's Secret Warriors became a major documentary for Channel Four. It followed three years of research during which he was given access to Mossad's main personnel. Gideon's Spies: Mossad's Secret Warriors has so far been published in 16 languages. A source for this book was Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli intelligence agent, and Israeli spy Rafi Eitan. Max Morgan-Witts (born 27 September 1931) is a British producer, director and author of Canadian origin. Morgan-Witts was a Director/Producer at Granada TV. He directed television shows for Granada. After Granada TV, Morgan-Witts moved to BBC TV, where he was responsible for documentary programs. These included 14 one-hour episodes of the The British Empire, a historical documentary series. It was filmed in 40 countries and at the time was the most expensive and ambitious documentary series the BBC had made. He was Director and Producer of many one-hour film documentaries made for peak time viewing on BBC One, most of which he wrote himself but for one of which he hired Gordon Thomas. This was the beginning of their writing partnership. Morgan-Witts wrote 10 non-fiction books with Thomas, four of which were made into feature films, including Enola Gay: The Men, the Mission, the Atomic Bomb, which was first a four-hour NBC special and then re-cut as a feature. Another was Voyage of the Damned, a highly rated feature film which is frequently repeated on TV worldwide. Morgan-Witts has been awarded the Edgar Allan Poe Award and is a Knight of Mark Twain., Doubleday, 1984, B.R. Publishing Corporation, 1989. First edition. Hardcover. New. The Ganga Action Plan is based on an in-depth study of the pollution sources from where sewage discharge flows into the Ganga along with half cremated human bodies In the industrial areas of Howrah, Calcutta and Kanpur the Ganga has become highly polluted and this has caused a large number of fish to perish Further, those who eat fish from the waters of the Ganga become the victims of serious stomach ailments and other critical diseases The mercury and lead content of the effluents have poisoned the entire food chain along the banks of the Ganga According to an earlier study undertaken by the Central Board for Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, the discharge of untreated sewage from class I towns (population of more than 1 lakh) located along the banks of the Ganga is the principal source of pollution since the local municipalities are not equipped with adequate plants and installation of subsidised electric crematoria away from the Ganga. The Ganga Action Plan envisaged the prevention of this pollution by intercepting and diverting about 900 million litres of untreated sewage every day which were usually discharged in the river The Ganga Action Plan has a budget of Rs 292.31 crore for its broad programme of 259 schemes so far identified covering 27 cities of UP Bihar and West Bengal The allocation during the Seventh Five Year Plan 1985 90 for these schemes has been Rs 240 crores The Government has also sanctioned construction of 28 electric crematoria at Hardwar, Kanpur, Allahabad, Patna, Monghyr, Bhagalpur, Berhampur, Nabadwip, and different parts of the Calcutta metropolis on the banks of the Hooghly river. In Varanasi, an electric crematorium is being constructed by the UP Government As for the problem of haft burnt or unburnt human bodies being thrown into the Ganga, apart from the social customs and religious beliefs, one of the principal reasons is the high cost and scarcity of wood for cremation. The Ganga should not be the permanent dumping ground for wastes of all kinds, if we mean to keep the Ganga clean But there are more ecological issues involved that the book talks about regarding a better solution to the problem.

Few people may realize that Long Island is still home to American Indians, the region's original inhabitants. One of the oldest reservations in the United StatesÑthe Poospatuck ReservationÑis located in Suffolk County, the densely populated eastern extreme of the greater New York area. The Unkechaug Indians, known also by the name of their reservation, are recognized by the State of New York but not by the federal government. This narrative accountÑwritten by a noted authority on the Algonquin peoples of Long IslandÑis the first comprehensive history of the Unkechaug Indians. Drawing on archaeological and documentary sources, John A. Strong traces the story of the Unkechaugs from their ancestral past, predating the arrival of Europeans, to the present day. He describes their first encounters with British settlers, who introduced to New England's indigenous peoples guns, blankets, cloth, metal tools, kettles, as well as disease and alcohol. Although granted a large reservation in perpetuity, the Unkechaugs were, like many Indian tribes, the victims of broken promises, and their landholdings diminished from several thousand acres to fifty-five. Despite their losses, the Unkechaugs have persisted in maintaining their cultural traditions and autonomy by taking measures to boost their economy, preserve their language, strengthen their communal bonds, and defend themselves against legal challenges. In early histories of Long Island, the Unkechaugs figured only as a colorful backdrop to celebratory stories of British settlement. Strong's account, which includes extensive testimony from tribal members themselves, brings the Unkechaugs out of the shadows of history and establishes a permanent record of their struggle to survive as a distinct community., University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2016, Ashgate Publishing Limited, UK, 2004.

The decline in central financing for Russia's nuclear complex and the known interest of terrorist groups in acquiring fissile material and technologies, has made the state of Russia's far-flung nuclear enterprises a pressing international issue. In this important volume, a group of leading US and Russian policy experts - drawing on extensive interviews with officials, facility personnel, and analysts in Russia's regions - explores the intersecting problems of Russian nuclear insecurity and decentralization, including the growing influence of regional political and economic forces. The work presents insights into both nuclear safety issues and post-Soviet intra-agency governance, as well as detailed case studies of critical nuclear regions: the Far East, the Urals, Siberia, and the Volga area. The volume also offers major new findings on the interface linking Russia's evolving center-periphery relations, its ailing nuclear facilities, and the role played by foreign assistance providers.

The authors - Russian and American - are all knowledgeable and many have direct experience in the nuclear field. The scholarship is of the highest quality, backed by authoritative sources. No other full-length work examines the nuclear issue in the context of Russia's regions. Preventing Nuclear Meltdown is a real contribution to our understanding of Russia's evolving federalism.' Charles E. Ziegler, University of Louisville, USA 'An interesting study not just of proliferation and Russian politics, but of the dynamics of federalism as well...Highly recommended.' Choice '...the book makes a strong case for closer attention to the problems that nuclear facilities spread over the vast Russian territory have to deal with.' The Russian Review 'The book's strength lies in the depth of the research conducted and the importance of the topic being pursued...As a first, detailed study of this problem, this is an important work...These analysts have done a fine job laying the foundation for further empirical study and theorizing.' Slavic Review '...this book is one of those rare edited volumes that is extremely well researched and well thorught out with consistently high quality throughout that is a must read for those concerned with nuclear and/or Russian issues. It provides the reader with everything they need to know about Russia's nuclear complex but were afraid to ask (because some of the answers you may not wish to hear).'

Christopher Allmand shows that Henry V not only united the country in war but also provided domestic security, solid government, and a much-needed sense of national pride. The book includes an updated foreword which takes stock of more recent publications in the field., University of California Press, 1993, This work examines the infrastructure behind the academic discipline of African History. By looking at government reports, a selection of reflective essays and memoirs written by key historians, and the key precolonial sources that have driven select studies, my thesis explains how African History emerged in British and U.S. universities. Key factors include the Englishcolonisation of Sierra Leone in 1787, the affiliation of Fourah Bay College with the University of Durham in 1876, and the creation of universities in 1948 in Nigeria, Sudan, Uganda and Ghana. In Britain, the importance of African territories resulted in a series of influential reports that shifted missionary controlled education on the African continent to colonial government control. After 1945 a series of pivotal government reports established the impetus and funding for the academic institutionalisation of African History in the United Kingdom. The influence of anEnglish academic recognition of African History provided a transnational current of ideas that flowed between Africa and the United Kingdom, and from there to the United States. With the advent of the Cold War the United States recognised the importance of developing Area Studies programmes, including African Studies, and during the 1960s and 1970s became world leaders in the field. Crucial to this development was the role of pioneering historians who travelled to Africa to teach and research, and who then returned to train a new generation of Africanists. Africanist scholars, recognising the importance of African agency, expanded the shape of the discipline through investigation of oral sources and reexamination of extant pre1800 European written records. 'Charter historians' established university programmes that would produce scholars with the necessary skills required to sustain the new discipline. The infrastructure that undergirded and positioned African History in the mainstream of academia is analysed indepth, and is, as such, the central theme of this thesis., Victoria University of Wellington, 2008, Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt.

The Central Structure of the Mughal Empire is the most complete work describing the organization of the administrative machinery of the central structure of the Mughal government under Akbar and his two immediate successors, Jahangir and Shah Jahan. It covers the period between the year 1560, when Akbar began to rule and the year 1657 when Shah Jahan ceased to rule. As has been rightly pointed out by Sir Dension Ross in his Foreword to the volume, Ibn Hasan's work 'must always for a companion volume to the Ain-i-Akbari, and it will be studied by all serious students of Mughal history.' The assessment of Sir Dension Ross is not an exaggeration since the book covers the whole ground in a manner never before attempted and the author has based the work entirely on original sources both in the MS form or the printed ones. These sources include the chronicles of the period, contemporary Persian works and manuscripts on the various aspects of administration of the Mughal empire, collections of letters and correspondence, biographies and works on political theory by Muslim jurists and other writers besides the European travellers' records and modern works. Some of the original sources have been utilized for the first time in the present work; for instance Chahar Chaman by Chandra Bhan Brahman, a contemporary writer during Shah Jahan's reign, which ranks second only to Akbar Nama from the point of view of its utility for the practical knowledge of the administration of Shah Jahan's reign, has been taken into account for the first time in the present book. The book is divided into three parts; the first dealing with the king and his position in the state and the transaction of the state business by him. The second part deals with the reorganization of the vizarat under Akbar and besides describing the powers and functions of the ministers as heads of departments also includes the description and analysis of the internal working of each department substantiating the analysis by the historical facts of the period. The third part deals with the judicial system of the empire while the fourth and the last chapter summarizes the conclusions. Underlying Ibn Hasan's analysis is the thesis that Akbar's policy was derived from the experience of the past and he not only devised a system which contributed to the prosperity of his subjects-both the Hindus and the Muslims alike-but also solved the problem of the vizarat and the nobility thereby resulting in the continuation of the policy under his successors Jahangir and Shah Jahan., Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt.

Small Quarto (18 x 25cm)., Arts Queensland, 2002, Academic Foundation, 2009. Hardcover. New. The International Civil Service of the United Nations is not fully aligned with the compelling demands of the 21st century. Once reputed as one of the most attractive organisations to work due to its noble objectives, global outreach, and attractive conditions of service, the world body has been fast losing its lustre and pulling power and its ability to perform. As a result, the organisation has been sustaining loss in its ability to deliver on its principles, purposes and mandates in a timely, efficient and effective fashion and in its good will, image and reputation. If it does not pursue far-reaching reforms urgently, particularly in the area of human resource management (HRM), the United Nations will surely decline and become irrelevant not too far into the future. This book identifies strategic issues facing the HRM of the world body, analyses their impacts on its performance, suggests remedies to address these lacunas and proposes measures to make the entity competitive, efficient, and effective. It tells you where you need to strengthen UN`s HRM, where to make cutbacks, and where to remove duplication and overlaps. Frequent references to the HRM of the European Commission and national governments gives a refreshing taste of best practices. This volume will make an interesting read for general readers and a great source of information for experts and professionals. In particular, it is a must-read for politicians and diplomats as a reference source, for UN staff to have a better perspective of their HRM, and for academics and students of international relations, diplomacy and political science in universities and colleges as a textbook and reference material. There is a special chapter to assist prospective new entrants seeking a career with the United Nations. Printed Pages: 434., Academic Foundation, 2009<
