United Nations peacekeeping has proven remarkably effective at
reducing the death and destruction of civil wars. But how
peacekeepers achieve their ends remains under-explored. This book
presents a typological theory of how peacekeepers exercise power.
If power is the ability of A to get B to behave differently,
peacekeepers convince the peacekept to stop fighting in three basic
ways: they persuade verbally, induce financially, and coerce
through deterrence, surveillance and arrest. Based on more than two
decades of study, interviews with peacekeepers, unpublished records
on Namibia, and ethnographic observation of peacekeepers in
Lebanon, DR Congo, and the Central African Republic, this book
explains how peacekeepers achieve their goals, and differentiates
peacekeeping from its less effective cousin, counterinsurgency. It
recommends a new international division of labor, whereby actual
military forces hone their effective use of compulsion, while UN
peacekeepers build on their strengths of persuasion, inducement,
and coercion short of offensive force.
