This book analyses three major themes: decolonization, sovereignty,
and peacekeeping. Their interaction during the national liberation
struggle during the Cold War, culminating in the 1956 Suez War,
addresses the principle of national sovereignty after World War II
in the framework of the UN Charter. The new peacekeeping operations
were used in many conflicts, during which the Charter's theory and
application were tested. The rise of the USA as the key Western
power and Israel's special role in the Middle East have created a
new confrontational dynamic for the entire region. The interaction
between the book's main themes in the field has led to the
principles of peacekeeping in international and national conflicts
being reviewed in light of the discredited 'Capstone Doctrine'. The
author argues that state sovereignty is sacrosanct, but
humanitarian interventions are equally imperative in his view.
Striking the right balance is crucial for managing conflicts. The
author: * offers a well-informed historical account and an
authoritative political analysis * was exposed to UNEF deployments
and termination and knows key peacekeeping actors * draws on
original documents, memoirs, and interviews * includes unpublished
photos and previously unavailable documentary material * has
experience in government and academia
