With the recent developments in Syria the United Nations is once
again making headlines. The failure to reach an agreement on a
Security Council resolution demonstrates the continued problems in
forging a coherent international response to crisis situations.
This lack of coherence continues despite recognition of the need
for more cooperation to solve the growing list of global problems.
With the relative success of global governance initiatives in
relation to the environment, health issues, and economic problems,
the focus has increasingly shifted to the problems of international
security. This timely and important book represents a response to
that shift and the implications this has for the wider
international system. Using a number of relevant case studies
(including the UN interventions in Bosnia, Somalia, Burundi, the
Democratic Republic of Congo and East Timor) it examines the
securitisation of global governance through the prism of United
Nations Peacekeeping Operations and demonstrates that the
development of both global governance and global security
governance have transformed the environment in which international
organisations, such as the United Nations, are operating. Moreover
this book brings together a number of the key academic debates
surrounding both global security governance and peacekeeping. It
combines an examination of the power relations of global security
governance, with the changing nature of peacekeeping operations. By
bringing the two areas together the book for the first time bridges
existing literatures and debates, from theoretical discussions of
global governance, to practical examinations of peacekeeping
operations. UN-Tied Nations provides a concise and analytical
introduction to the ongoing debates around the development of
global governance, global security governance, and the continuous
impact these are having on the ability of the United Nations to act
as an international peacekeeper.
