Transforming Multilateral Diplomacy: The Inside Story of the Sustainable Development Goals

excellent product - gives background to SDGs

This Book is a must read for anyone interested in knowing how multilateral diplomacy works. It is gives the reader a front row seat in the arena of the United Nations system and the working of the complex, delicate and important issues that affect humanity. The book is written in style that is easy to read and understand the intrigues of the organization known as the United Nations.The SDGs is by far the most complex work and task taken by the Nations of the world and it was completed in record time with accuracy and truly left none behind. The speedy conclusion of the agenda is itself a rarity in the multilateral world.I would recommend all to read and have a copy as it is a good reference tool for all . Thank you Amb. Kamau and your co authors for taking the time to chronicle the process. Not too many people do this and hence their knowledge and experience is hardly passed on and down to the next set of diplomats, negotiators, students.James WaweruKenya

I just joined the United Nations and was looking for a good book to better understand the multi-lateral nature of the UN and the member nations. This book fits right in. The content is not dry and boring like any other text books about foreign policy and diplomacy. I like the way it tells the story of the inception of Sustainable Development Goals by exercising the key principles of multi-lateral diplomacy. It was a good and engaging read. It really is a must read for any new horn coming into contact with the complex UN system at any level. I am giving it a 5-star as it is well-deserved.
