Luers and Courtney Smith. Dulcie Leimbach, UNA-USA’s publications director, served as the editor.
Here is what Warren Hoge of the International Peace Institute said about “A Global Agenda”:
“With peacekeepers more numerous than ever and demands for them increasing alarmingly, now is the time to examine the recent experiences of UN missions in Sudan, Congo, Haiti, Somalia and other trouble spots. The chapter in this book does so in a highly informative and readable way.”

UNA-USA Publications, Covering News at the UN
UNA-USA offers numerous publications that keep abreast of international issues that pertain to the UN and the US. Our biweekly e-newsletter, the World Bulletin, was first published in May 2005 with just 7,000 subscribers. Today, that number has tripled, with readers that include UNA-USA members, the UN and international policy communities, Congressional members, media outlets, academic institutions, nongovernmental organizations, advocacy groups, college and graduate students and others seeking in-depth information that can’t be found anywhere else. The World Bulletin regularly features a column from UNA-USA’s president, Tom Miller, on a range of matters, such as Obama’s first visit to the UN to the world food crisis. It also consistently offers articles by Barbara Crossette, a former New York Times foreign correspondent and UN bureau chief. Crossette uses her vast experience and insight to report on such timely issues as the UN’s difficult role in Afghanistan and why Ban Ki-moon remains an enigma. The World Bulletin delivers original reporting accompanied by videos and graphics as well as news about UNA-USA itself, including advocacy and policy efforts, membership events and Global Classrooms activities.
In addition, UNA-USA publishes “A Global Agenda: Issues Before the UN 2009-2010,” a compendium of essays by policy experts, UN journalists and international academics on security, humanitarian aid, peacekeeping and human rights, among other topics relevant to the UN. With an introduction by Sir Brian Urquhart and an advisory staff that includes Stephen Schlesinger and Barbara Crossette, “A Global Agenda” is a concise, clear guide to the hot topics facing the UN. It is available at the UN Bookstore and all online booksellers.  View UNA-USA Publications
