Peacekeeping in Global Politics investigates the changing role of
peacekeeping and competing perspectives about what that role should
be. It begins by addressing broad issues connected with the
transition from a Westphalian to post-Westphalian international
society, the ethical and legal dilemmas provoked by armed
intervention, and the alternative ways of conceptualising the role
that peacekeeping plays. It goes on to critically chart the
development of 'traditional' peacekeeping before outlining how the
role of force in peacekeeping operations has changed and the close
links between peacekeeping, conflict prevention and conflict
resolution. The final part of the volume focuses specifically on
globalization and the effects that this has had on peacekeeping
practices. In particular, it focuses on the changing conflict
environment, the growing tendency towards subcontracting
peacekeeping duties, and the development of regional peacekeeping
capabilities. Overall, this volume makes two contributions to the
way we think about peacekeeping: first it demonstrates that the
theory and practice of peacekeeping is embedded in global politics
and second it shows that there an on-going debate about what
peacekeeping is for.
