WEU: a regional partner of the United Nations?

Each year this Institute makes a limited number of awards for young scholars from WEU member states to spend a period of up to three months working with us in Paris. Earlier this year Luisa Vierucci, then working at the University of Florence and currently at the University of Oxford, held one of these awards. While with us she produced this study on WEU's relationship with the United Nations. We felt it was of sufficient interest and quality to merit a wider audience and hope it will make a useful contribution to an important current debate. Luisa Vierucci has been awarded the WEU Institute Prize for 1993 for this paper.
