More About This Textbook

Overview

This volume explores the evolution of peacekeeping, particularly since the early 1990's. This period was characterized by much initial enthusiasm and hopes for a United Nations that would find a more agreeable international environment for effective and sustained operations to secure peace where it existed, and to provide peace where it did not. The first part of the book outlines the challenges of post-Cold War peacekeeping; the second part sheds light on regional experiences of peacekeeping missions, with an emphasis on the post-Soviet region and Africa. In the third part, practitioners with extensive field experience share their specific experiences in Cambodia, former Yugoslavia, and East Timor. Part four takes stock of the recent record of UN peacekeeping, and of the UN's own attempt to analyze, evaluate and reform its performance in peace operations.

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
The editors asked speakers at a 1999 United Nations U. symposium on peacekeeping and selected contributors to examine the lessons that could be learned from past peacekeeping operations. About half of the 16 contributors are academic observers of peacekeeping and half have been involved in the field and in the planning of UN peacekeeping missions over the past decade in Somalia, the former Yugoslavia, Timor, Cambodia, and elsewhere. Their essays address the history, nature, legality, and practicality of such operations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
