Summary of Ahead of the Curve?: UN Ideas and Global Challenges

"With the publication of this first volume in the United Nations Intellectual History Project, a significant lacuna in 20th-century scholarship and international relations begins to be filled." --Kofi A. Annan, UN Secretary-General

"A provocative reminder of the major role of the United Nations in global social and economic affairs in the postwar period; and a tantalizing taste of what is still to come in a major intellectual effort better to understand the UN's past and potential future role." --Prof. Gerald K. Helleiner, University of Toronto

"This book as well as the whole project have the great value of raising questions about the easy, conservative realist approach that dominates diplomacy. I wish that I had had it when I was teaching courses on international organization." --Prof. Leon Gordenker, Princeton University
