New book evaluates UN
Disappointment with the performance of United Nations peace-keeping operations came to symbolize the UN’s failure to emerge from the Cold War as a rejuvenated key player in international and internal peace and security. A new book from UNU Press traces the evolution of peace-keeping since the early 1990s, a period characterized by initial optimism 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. United Nations Peace-keeping Operations, edited by Ramesh Thakur and Albrecht Schnabel, combines academic analysis, field experience and reflection with forward-looking proposals (including the suggestions of, and responses to, the recent Brahimi Report) for more effective peace operations designed and deployed by the UN in partnership with regional, sub-regional, and local actors. |
