The victors:: the US:: Russia:: China:: Britain:: and France:: continue to control it with their permanent membership and the veto. Their confrontations emasculated the Council during the Cold War and their cooperation spawned questionable military actions thereafter. The book traces the origins of international security cooperation and scrutinizes the moorings of the Security Council's powers in international law.

This book is an essential read for practitioners and scholars to understand the Security Council and the failure to reform it ER -
