What is the role of peace support operations in managing
non-traditional crises? This is the central focus of Sloan's
analysis of peacekeeping and the changing nature of the
international community's involvement in Bosnia following the
outbreak of civil war in 1992. The key players in this drama are
three institutions-the European Union, NATO, and the United
Nations-and five major powers, including Britain, France, Germany,
Russia, and the United States. Sloan examines their actions and
undertakings through the prism of several perspectives, including
the peacekeeping, peacemaking, peace enforcement, and peace
building dimensions. This study advances current thinking on
peacekeeping and related operations by distinguishing key
characteristics of the forms of operation and indicating how they
best relate to one another. It also challenges the notion that the
international response to conflict in Bosnia was haphazard or
confused, suggesting instead that the international community's
actions can be readily understood as a reflection of the evolution
of great power interests. The overall effect is to shed light on
two timely, complex, and interrelated subjects. The reader comes
away with a clear understanding of what went wrong (and right) and
why in Bosnia, and what lessons the experience holds for the
future. This is must reading for military and peacekeeping planners
and for scholars and researchers in the fields of strategic
studies, international security, and international relations.
