This book analyses the new and difficult roles of regional
organizations in peacemaking after the end of the Cold War and how
they relate to the United Nations (UN).
Regional organizations have taken an increasingly prominent role
in international efforts to deal with international security. The
book highlights the complex interaction between the regional and
sub-regional organizations, on the one hand, and their relations
with the United Nations, on the other. Thus, the general issues of
UN and its authority are scrutinized from legal, practical and
geopolitical perspectives. Taking on a broad geographical focus on
Africa, the Arab world and Europe, the book also provides an
extensive range of case studies, with detailed analysis of
particular situations, organizations and armed conflicts.
The authors scrutinise the heterogeneous relationship between
the different organizations as well as the challenges to them:
political resources, legal standing, financial assets, capabilities
and organizational set up. Moreover, they investigate whether
regional organizations, as compared to the UN, are better suited to
deal with today s intra-state conflicts. The book also aims to
dissect the evolution of these institutions historically in
relation to Chapter VIII of the UN Charter which mentions the
resort to 'regional arrangements for conflict management as well as
more generally in relation to the principles of international law
and UN principles of peacemaking.
This book, written by a mixture of established scholars,
diplomats and high-level policymakers, will be of great interest to
students as well as practitioners in the field of peace and
conflict studies, regional security, international organisations,
conflict management and IR in general."
