This book offers a new perspective on peace missions in intra-state
wars, based on comparative field research. In theoretical terms,
this book proposes a new definition of peace operation success
based on two crucial elements: the (re)establishment of order and
the accomplishment of the mandate. The work presents a new typology
for assessing peace operations as failures, partial failures,
partial successes, or successes. This focus on 'blurry' outcomes
provides a clearer theoretical framework to understand what
constitutes successful peace operations. It explains the different
outcomes of peace operations (based on the type of success/failure)
by outlining the effect(s) of the combination of the key
ingredients-strategy and the type of interveners. Empirically, this
book tests the saliency of the theoretical framework by examining
the peace operations which took place in Somalia, Sierra Leone and
Liberia. This book refutes the classification of these three cases
as the 'worst' context for 'transitional politics', and
demonstrates that peace operations may succeed, partially of
totally, in challenging contexts, and that the diverse outcomes are
better explained by the type of intervener and the strategy
employed than by the type of context. This work shows that, for a
peace operation in an intra-state war, the adoption of a deterrence
strategy works best for re-establishing order while the involvement
of a great power facilitates the accomplishment of the mandate.
This book will be of much interest to students of peacekeeping,
conflict resolution, civil wars, security studies and IR in
general.
