As the United Nations passes its fiftieth anniversary, it has
undergone a sea change in its approach toward peacekeeping.
Originally a stopgap measure to preserve a cease-fire, peacekeeping
has, since the waning of the Cold War, become a means to implement
an agreed political solution to conflict between antagonists.
Placed inside war-torn states, UN peacekeepers have encountered
manifold new challenges through oversight of elections, protection
of human rights, and reconstructing of governmental administration.
In this study, Steven R. Ratner offers a comprehensive framework
for scholars, policy-makers, and all those seeking to understand
this new peacekeeping. He sees the UN as an administrator,
mediator, and guarantor of political settlements - roles that can
conflict when peace accords unravel, as is all too common. He
describes the numerous actors, inside and outside the UN, who are
engaged in this process, often with competing interests. And in
historical review, beginning with the League of Nations, he reveals
many striking precedents long before the 1990s. In the central
case-study, Ratner applies his thesis to the most ambitious UN
operation completed, the Cambodia mission of 1991-93. After
reconstructing the process leading to the massive UN role, he
reviews and appraises its performance, offering a sophisticated
critique demonstrating the dangers of quick 'success' or 'failure'
verdicts. With the experiences of those operations in mind, he
concludes with a set of compelling recommendations for the UN's
members.
