About the product
United Nations-sponsored World Conferences fills a gap in the literature on UN Conferences, multilateralism, and global governance. It also seeks to contribute to the on-going international debate on whether such conferences are worthwhile. The publication demonstrates through case studies the need for follow-up and implementation of the outcomes of the conferences. The authors argue that the terms of public debate on the accomplishments of such conferences, and thus the future of similar conferences, must include a careful assessment of their impacts long after the final documents have been passed.
