THE book for model UN delegates

This is the best source I have ever seen for model United Nations research and is a must have for model UN prep.

A MUST for MUN!

If you're a MUN delegate, I strongly reccommend you buy this book. It describes the current issues and problems which face the world and United Nations today. The issues in A GLOBAL AGENDA are often committee topics for conferences. This book provides a solid background information to what you need to research and what the specifics are of the topic. It could also help to decide what committee you want to do! It's a must to pack in your briefcase to every conference.
