Description

Peacekeeping emerged in the post-Cold War period as the most prominent UN activity. This is largely because governments have come under increasing scrutiny & criticism for failure to adhere to a growing body of international standards. However, while world opinion is more willing to consider intervention in principle, it is also increasingly leery about mil. intervention in practice except in extreme cases. Chapters: the search for a new European architecture; commonwealth of independent states; Africa & the Americas; peacekeeping in Asia; & range of organizations available.
