    The context in which the United Nations operates is one of change and reorientation: a changing political climate, leading to modifications in the tasks the organization is called upon to undertake; and a reorientation of the organization's internal structures and procedures in response to these changes. The principal aims and objectives of the United Nations have recently been reassessed. This reassessment—highlighted in Secretary-General Kofi Annan's reform program and at the Millennium Summit—led the 189 Member States to reaffirm their faith in the organization. New forms of consensus and cooperation are developing regarding what the United Nations should strive to achieve and how best to organize itself to improve its operations. The United Nations and Kofi Annan “received the Nobel Peace Prize for their role in reforming this 56-year-old institution…” (Herald Tribune, Honor Awarded to Annan and UN, 13-14 October 2001, p. 1). The Quiet Revolution focuses primarily on Kofi Annan's reform efforts. The book thus describes much of his work that led to the awarding of the prize. “Dr. Joachim Müller presents a detailed review of the reform initiatives undertaken during the period from 1996 to 2000, which was so important for the evolution of the United Nations. He provides a wealth of information from primary sources, as well as an instructive analysis of the history of reform within the United Nations since its inception.” (excerpt from the foreword by Jean-Pierre Halbwachs, Under-Secretary-General, Comptroller, United Nations).
