22 4 Ways Ideas Gain Global influence and traction Ideas change the way issues are perceived Ideas redefine state and non-state interests and goals, thereby setting agendas for action Ideas mobilize coalitions to press for action Ideas become embedded in institutions, with responsibilities for implementation & monitoring
23 A Balance Sheet of the UN s Contributions: The Positives 1. Promoting human rights for all 2. Providing an international framework for national development policies 3. Setting global goals 4. Quantifying the world 5. Changing the debate about trade and development 6. Proposing development policies that combine economic growth with poverty reduction 7. Bringing issues of environment and development to global attention, especially global warming 8. Promoting preventive diplomacy & human security 9. Promoting the human development approach
24 Negatives on the Balance Sheet 1. Late reaction to the Washington Consensus 2. Weak response to the special needs of the least developed countries 3. Too little done to introduce cultural aspects into the development equation 4. Tardy and weak reaction to HIV/AIDS 5. Inadequate attention inequalities of income and wealth, nationally & internationally
25 A Summary of the UN s Contributions The balance sheet shows a small but significant surplus The UN has led the way with many fundamental ideas, more than is often realized The UN has often been ahead of the World Bank and the IMF though these have received most donor support and most finance Ideas may be among the UN s most important contributions
26 Lourdes Arizpe Someone once said that the United Nations is a dream managed by bureaucrats.. I would correct that by saying that it has become a bureaucracy managed by dreamers.. Certainly you have to be a dreamer to work in the United Nations with conviction. It is only if you have this sense of mission that you can withstand the constant battering by governments who are afraid that the United Nations will become a world government So in the end, someone who works in the United Nations has to be a magician of ideas, because working for the United Nations is like working for a government in which all the political parties are in power at the same time.
27 Ten Global Challenges for the UN s s Future 1 Tackling global warming and climate change 2 Strengthening global governance in a multipolar world 3 Supporting fragile states 4 Balancing regionalism with globalization 5 Moderating inequalities in global development 6 Responding to population growth and international migration 7 Bridging international divides of culture and identities 8 Shifting the focus of security from states to individuals 9 Incorporating culture and human rights into development 10 Improving the quality of education worldwide
28 Strengthening the UN s Intellectual Work Encourage creative thinking Implications for recruitment and promotion More autonomy for research and related publications Create intellectual islands Seek alliances with many centers of expertise More sustained resources needed Concentrate on problems of real significance Dissemination of results is of the essence Rethink professional relations between UN and Bretton Woods institutions
