Since the end of the Cold War, US officials have been more willing
to remind allies that the US will not play the role of
international policeman. Given US reluctance, the job of
peacekeeping will fall increasingly to international organizations
and regional alliances. In this book, Diehl examines the recent
record of United Nations peacekeeping forces and develops criteria
for assessing their operations. His analysis aims to provide useful
guidance for the management of new hostilities in areas such as
Central and Eastern Europe, where the dissolution of the Soviet
Union has spawned bitter civil wars and dangerous border disputes.
Diehl identifies three sets of factors that affect traditional
international peacekeeping operations. He begins by discussing the
practical concerns of peacekeeping efforts, such as force
composition, organization and deployment. He then examines issues
related to the political and military context in which the forces
are deployed, including the nature of the conflict and the
involvement of third parties. Finally, he considers the
authorization by the relevant international body - usually the UN -
as it relates to the mission's mandate, policies and financing. He
concludes by analyzing the viability of new roles for UN
peacekeeping troops, such as humanitarian assistance, and by
exploring structural alternatives to UN peacekeeping operations.
This paperback edition includes a new epilogue which examines
peacekeeping operations in Bosnia, Somalia and Cambodia.
