UN Studies

This volume takes stock of different perspectives and initiatives in the establishment of UN Studies in Germany. Understood in broad terms, UN Studies focus on the foundations, institutions and problems of world organization. New global challenges and innovative patterns of global governance call for new impulses in teaching and research but also in the exchange between theory and practice. Against this background authors from political science, international law, history, communication and administrative science as well as economics offer their respective perspectives while discussing the theoretical and practical relevance of UN Studies. A second part brings together the experiences of different programs, teaching formats and networks in realizing UN Studies. The contributions thus explore the possibilities and limitations of a new academic agenda.
