I emailed UNA-USA Publications about their A Global Agenda book, and unfortunately it looks like that even they don't know of any similar publications.

The UN Association of the USA used to publish an excellent guide to the annual agenda of the UN General Assembly. Unfortunately, the authoritate and comprehensive A Global Agenda book has been discontinued. See details of the publication at http://www.unausa.org/site/pp.asp?c=fvKRI8MPJpF&b=316281. The UN-NGLS publishes also publishes the Civil Society Observer, a newsletter that follows the major issues being discussed at the UN. Unfortunately, it's only published every two months. I emailed Felix Dodds, Chairman of Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future, who suggested that you also check out the publications at listed at http://www.globalpolicy.org/resource/misc/books.htm. The staidly-named International Documents Review looks like your best bet, but I can't find much further information on it online...

Hi Alan!
This is a terrific rundown; really useful! Now, I just have to get to one of these meetings!

Do you have any information on the items on the UN’s workplan? I’m looking for analysis of the substantive issues on the agenda, rather than a discussion as to how to lobby – which you’ve already provided.
