To what extent can the United Nations serve as an agent for
emancipatory change and transformation? This fundamental question
lies at the heart of this exciting new book. Author Eli Stamnes
applies the principles and precepts of Critical Security Studies to
offer a new and highly innovative perspective on the UN operation
that was deployed in the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia
between December 1992 and February 1999. Three of the core
arguments of Critical Security Studies are brought to bear, namely:
the importance of the wider security agenda beyond the purely
military; the importance of 'referent objects' other than the
state; and a determination to make a concern with human
emancipation central to the academic enterprise. The result is to
open up new or underappreciated dimensions of the UN operation in
Macedonia. By developing a framework of analysis based on the ideas
of Axel Honneth the book also makes an original and important
contribution to the further development of Critical Security
Studies itself.
