The Evolution of UN Peacekeeping: Case Studies and Comparative Analysis
February 01, 1993
Edited by William J. Durch
This is the first comprehensive post-Cold War assessment of this important tool of conflict containment, its rapid growth and development, the factors that make it work, and the new pressures that place the whole concept at risk. Based on a two-year study for the Ford Foundation, it includes twenty case studies of UN operations from 1947 to 1991, and is suitable for use in courses on international law and organization, regional conflict, conflict management, and cooperative security. Please note that this book incorporates Stimson's March 1992 out of print Report No. 2: Keeping the Peace: The United Nations in the Emerging World Order, by William J. Durch and Barry M. Blechman.
