This is an unparallelled analysis of the state of the United
Nations peace operations and their impact on Asian security.This
new volume examines new strategies being adopted by the UN;
including doctrinal shifts in peace operation, and assesses the
division of labour between the UN, regional organisation and
non-governmental organisations/actors. Based on selected papers
from mostly Asian scholars, the book offers regional perspectives
from South, Southeast and Northeast Asia on the changing nature of
UN Peace operations and analyses some of the core issues that are
of critical relevance to regional security in Asia. In addition it
reveals interesting new insights on the new players in the area of
peace operations -- i.e. China and Japan and considers their
projected roles as defined by their respective security concepts.
It also delves into issues of possible areas of concern caused by
the new activism of these regional powers in peace operations.
Finally, the book also revisits the significant lessons learnt from
the UN experience in Cambodia and East Timor and examines their
impact on future directions of peace operations.This book was
previously published as a special issue of the leading journal
International Peacekeeping.
