In this thoroughly revised edition of his bestselling 1999 volume
Why Peacekeeping Fails, Dennis Jett explains why peacekeepers today
are dying in record numbers while engaged in operations that either
are bound to fail or make little contribution to peace. The
original book compared a wide range of peacekeeping experiences,
including the unsuccessful attempt at peacekeeping in Angola with
the successful effort in Mozambique in the early 1990's, to argue
for the importance of peacekeeping and suggest ways to improve its
chances for success. Nearly two decades later, the number of UN
peacekeepers has risen to 100,000 from 15,000; and yet, after years
of expansion, support for peacekeeping seems to be diminishing.
This thoroughly revised and updated 20th anniversary edition-half
of which is completely new material-provides a timely update to
Jett's previous volume, examining why the dramatic growth in
peacekeeping has occurred, how it is now being used, and why the
challenges peacekeepers face cannot be dealt with alone. Also
considering the impact of terrorism on both recent and longstanding
peacekeeping operations, this book will assess the prospects of
peacekeeping in an era in which the United States seems to be
withdrawing from the world.
