The UN system includes the UNO itself and a number of specialized or related institutions. The activities of these institutions and the many agencies of the UN cover the entire spectrum of social life. But the system created at the end of the Second World War has aged. It is being criticized for its slowness and inefficiency. The UNO vessel seems to have lost its captain. The unequal character of the IFM and the World Bank, together with the policies they impose on poor countries from the South are often criticized. With the World Trade Organization, the IFM and the World Bank appear as the instruments of 'neo-liberal globalization'. The question is whether the international organization can be democratized and become the instrument of a renewed multilateralism. Adapted from the source document.

Russian journalist Tania Rakhmanova has made several documentaries and written a highly detailed book on the ascension of Vladimir Putin and how his system works. Here she analyzes the process that led this formerly obscure KGB agent to the summit of Russian power in 2000. She also explains how Putin, at the outset supposedly just a puppet in the hands of predecessor Boris Yeltsin's entourage, was finally able to put members of his own clan into positions at all levels of Russian society and government. Now heading the country's main ministries, companies and banks are long-standing allies of Putin, whether former comrades from the KGB, childhood friends, or colleagues from the Saint-Petersburg city hall, where he worked in the early 1990s. Reelected president on March 4, Putin now has but a single option, namely to stay in power as long as possible. After all, he guarantees the interests of "corporation Putin".
