The United Nations in the Twenty-first Century

Management and Reform Processes in a Troubled Organization

By: Marcus F. Franda

The United Nations is confronting a severe crisis at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Its capabilities have been called into question amid a rash of recent scandals and charges of leadership mismanagement, bureaucratic ineptitude, and corrupt activities. Current world opinion seems to express elevated concern about the organization's ability to deal with the complexity of international relations in the new millennium. Despite six decades of survival, its membership still appears unable to maintain a consistent focus or set of practices to pursue common goals. The United Nations in the Twenty-First Century analyzes the significance of the many forces and events affecting the UN's efforts at reform. It provides a detailed examination of these processes for all of the major UN organs and agencies, including chapters on the Secretaries-General, the Secretariat, the General Assembly, the Security Council, and ECOSOC. The chapters on the Secretaries-General are the only detailed discussion that compares, contrasts, and evaluates the tenures of the seven people who have headed the UN. The book's concluding chapters focus on Kofi Annan's reform agenda as it relates to previous UN reform experiences and assess the future impact of recent UN-related scandals and charges of mismanagement.

West Bengal and the Federalizing Process in India

By: Marcus F. Franda

Since its independence in 1947, India, as a large, diverse, and rapidly changing country, has had to meet federalizing problems of a magnitude unprecedented in history. The result has been a process that combines, modifies, and transforms many established ideas about federalism. Professor Franda deals with the complexities of India's experience by analyzing the politics of center-state relations as they affect one Indian state. He explores the various ways in which central and state leadership groups in India and West Bengal have developed working relationships, and examines the effect of state and regional political, economic, and social conditions on the evolution of center-state behavior patterns. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Radical Politics in South Asia

By: Paul R. Brass,Marcus F. Franda

The importance of South Asian countries in world affairs has been widely recognized for many years. The importance of regional politics "within" these countries, however, is only beginning to be generally recognized. This volume is the first book-length comparative study of regional radical movements in India, Bangladesh, and Ceylon. Its seven essays focus on the indigenous factors within each region that account for the rise of radical Left parties and movements. The leading political parties and groups of both the Communist and democratic Socialist movements are considered in light of their adaptation to the local environment and their success (or lack of it) in building political strength.An introductory essay by Paul R. Brass provides a historical overview and a comprehensive analysis of the history, organization, ideology, and impact of radical Left political parties in South Asia. Six other essays based on original research by their authors have been contributed: on Kerala by Robert L. Hardgrave, Jr.; on West Bengal by Marcus F. Franda; on Bangladesh by Talukder Maniruzzaman; on Andhra by Mohan Ram; on Bihar by Paul R. Brass; and on Ceylon by Robert N. Kearney. The book includes analyses of both the electoral and parliamentary politics of the radical parties and of their roles in the major upheavals of recent years in the South Asian countries, such as the development of revolutionary violence in India, the armed insurrection in Ceylon, and the creation of Bangladesh. It also incorporates the results of the 1971 and 1972 elections in India.
