American Empire : United Nations as Alternative to US
- Binding the Colossus
-- [Global Policy Forum] (November 20, 2003) Notwithstanding growing international concern with US unilateralism and its preemptive force doctrine, the Economist argues the UN need take responsibility to both reform itself and convince the US of the merits of pursuing collective, rather than preemptive, action.

- Diplomacy's Odd Couple, the US and the UN
-- (June 26, 2002) The US wants UN peace operations to be selective, efficient, and cost effective. It would work to increase the military capabilities of the UN but will leave fighting to multinational coalitions.

- Even a flawed United Nations is better than none at all
-- [PDF] Listening to President George W. Bush's harsh unilateralist rhetoric, it is sometimes difficult to believe that the US played a decisive role in creating the United Nations.

- U.N. Peacekeeping and U.S. National Security
-- Strengthening UN peacekeeping is in the best interests of the United States, as we adjust our national security policies in a changing world. Clearly diminishing are the American profile in the world and the readiness of the United States to involve itself in crisis situations not directly threatening it. At the same time, episodes of violence and instability are likely to continue, and many of them will have worrisome possibilities for damaging important American interests.

- Why America Still Needs the United Nations
-- Since the Iraq crisis, Some critics have suggested that "coalitions of the willing" will eventually eliminate the need for formal structures such as the UN. "Multilateralism á la carte," the thinking goes, will replace "multilateralism á la charte."
