"The most important political book of the year."-Gregg Easterbrook,
author of The Progress Paradox Everyone knows: wars are getting
worse, more civilians are dying, and peacemaking achieves nothing,
right? Wrong. Despite all the bad-news headlines, peacekeeping is
working. Fewer wars are starting, more are ending, and those that
remain are smaller and more localized. But peace doesn't just
happen; it needs to be put into effect. Moreover, understanding the
global decline in armed conflict is crucial as America shifts to an
era of lower military budgets and operations. Preeminent scholar of
international relations, Joshua Goldstein, definitively illustrates
how decades of effort by humanitarian aid agencies, popular
movements-and especially the United Nations-have made a measureable
difference in reducing violence in our times. Goldstein shows how
we can continue building on these inspiring achievements to keep
winning the war on war. This updated and revised edition includes
more information on a post-9-11 world, and is a perfect compendium
for those wishing to learn more about the United States' armed
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
