Since the end of the Cold War, United Nations peace operations
have become an established and prominent feature of world politics.
From Liberia to East Timor, the UN now carries out extensive
governance-related functions and is a significant political force
in Southern states and societies. Here Richard Al-Qaq leads us to a
radical new understanding of the UN and its role in international
politics. He uncovers the political and socio-economic import of
such "peace" activities for subject societies, and raises important
questions about the functioning and dynamics of the global
political order. A critical view of the internal process of
programmatic reform within the UN is elaborated by detailed studies
of the politics of UN peace operations in three seminal cases of
the 1990s, in Somalia, Rwanda and Angola. This book is essential
for understanding the new role of the UN, especially in Africa, and
the politics of so-called humanitarian intervention and
peace-building.
