Publisher's Synopsis
A detailed examination of UN World Conferences with respect to the interface between diplomatic method and new forms of global governance is provided in this book from UNU Press. Because of the complex dynamics involved in large international conferences, this book highlights a number of important theoretical debates central to the study of international relations. The role of Canada and Canadians is given special attention as both a unique and representative sample of how this dual interplay between diplomacy and global governance and state and society to craft has played out over the past decade or so with respect to the UN World Conferences.
