"Beyond the National Interest, the Future of UN Peacekeeping
and Multilateralism in an Era of US Primacy"

Dr. Jean -Marc Coicaud, Head of the United Nations University Office, New York

In this lecture, Dr. Coicaud addresses the extent and the limits of international solidarity, focusing on the limits. He discusses the United Nations as an international bureaucracy, the socialization of international life by international law, and the ambiguous role of key democratic countries, which are at the same time the underwriters and the underminers of the international system.
