New Publications by CIS Research Associate Sam Daws

CIS Research Associate Sam Daws has recently had two books on the United Nations published: The Procedure of the UN Security Council (4th edition) with Loraine Sievers and The United Nations, an eight-volume set of articles, edited with Natalie Samarasinghe.

The Procedure of the UN Security Council (4th edition), published by Oxford University Press, provides unique insight into the inside workings of the world's preeminent body for the maintenance of international peace and security. Thoroughly grounded in the history and politics of the Council, it brings to life the ways the Council has responded through its working methods to a changing world. It is the definitive book of its kind and has been widely used by UN practitioners and scholars for nearly 40 years. This comprehensively revised edition contains over 450 pages of new material documenting the extensive and rapid innovations in the Council's procedures of the past two decades.

The United Nations, published by Sage Publications, is a serious treatment of the United Nations that can clarify and illuminate its structures and role, and make it accessible to scholars and practitioners. The generous eight-volume format, containing the best cross-disciplinary articles from around the world, provides an opportunity to present a comparative and holistic analysis of the organisation.
