Understanding Peacekeeping provides a comprehensive and up to date
introduction to the theory, practice and politics of contemporary
peacekeeping. It evaluates the changing characteristics of the
contemporary environment in which peacekeepers operate, what role
peacekeeping plays in wider processes of global politics, the
growing impact of non-state actors, and the major challenges facing
peacekeepers in the future. Drawing on a wide range of historical
and contemporary case studies, including: Afghanistan; Cambodia,
Cyprus; the Democratic Republic of Congo; East Timor; El Salvador;
Haiti, Liberia; Rwanda; Sierra Leone; Somalia; and the former
Yugoslavia, this book develops an original conceptual framework to
chart the evolution of the role of peacekeeping in global politics,
and highlights the unique characteristics of different types of
peacekeeping operations. Part 1 examines concepts and issues
related to peacekeeping in global politics. Part 2 charts the
historical development of peacekeeping from 1945 to the present. In
Part 3, separate chapters are devoted to different types of
peacekeeping operations: traditional peacekeeping; managing
transition; wider peacekeeping; peace enforcement; and peace
support operations. Part 4 looks forward and examines developments
in global politics that are presenting serious challenges to the
concept and practice of peacekeeping, namely, globalization, the
privatization of security, preventing violent conflict, and the
establishment of protectorates. Understanding Peacekeeping will be
essential reading for students and scholars of peace and conflict
studies, security studies, and international relations.
