This book is a popular introduction to the relationship between the United Nations and great power rivalry. Using a light and engaging style, it dissects the operational logic of the UN, guiding readers to quickly understand its history and core rules. The book begins with the background of the UN's founding, tracing the evolution of the concept of sovereignty from the Westphalian system to the Yalta system. It breaks down the core rules of the UN, including its institutional structure, membership system, dues mechanism, Security Council operations, and peacekeeping operations, answering questions of public interest such as "Why did the Soviet Union have three votes?", "Was Guterres the world's highest official?", and "Why was India's bid for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council blocked?" The book also includes many interesting anecdotes from the UN's development, outlines the functions of various specialized agencies within the UN system, and examines the evolving relationship between China and the UN. Finally, it also discusses the role of UN officials.
