Description

Having been created in 1947, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) is now 60 years old and is entering its seventh decade at a time when the United Nations system as a whole is going through a period of reflection and reform. This book attempts to embed ESCAPs story into that of the Asian and Pacific region as a whole, which has moved from a region stamped by the effects of a long colonial history, to its emergence as a major player on the global scene.
