Keeping the Peace: Multidimensional UN Operations in Cambodia and El Salvador

by Michael W. Doyle (Editor), Ian Johnstone (Editor), Robert C. Orr (Editor)

Overview

Keeping the Peace explores the new multidimensional role that the United Nations has played in peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding over the past few years. By examining the paradigm-setting cases of Cambodia and El Salvador, and drawing lessons from these UN "success stories", the book identifies more effective ways for the international community to address conflict in the post-Cold War era. This book is especially timely given its focus on multidimensional peace operations, the most likely role for the UN in coming years.
