International Peacekeeping / Edition 1

by Paul F. Diehl

Overview

In International Peacekeeping, Paul Diehl examines the recent record of United Nations peacekeeping forces and develops criteria for assessing their operations. His analysis provides useful guidance for the management of new hostilities in areas such as Cetral and Eastern Europe, where the dissolution of the Soviet Union has spawned bitter civil wars and dangerous border disputes. The paperback edition includes a new epilogue in which Diehl examines peacekeeping operations in Bosnia, Somalia, and Cambodia.

Focuses on three aspects: practical matters of force composition, organization, and deployment; the larger political and military context; and the authorization by the relevant body, usually the UN Security Council.
