Peace operations are the UN's flagship activity. Over the past
decade, UN blue helmets have been dispatched to ever more
challenging environments from the Congo to Timor to perform an
expanding set of tasks. From protecting civilians in the midst of
violent conflict to rebuilding state institutions after war, a new
range of tasks has transformed the business of the blue helmets
into an inherently knowledge-based venture. But all too often, the
UN blue helmets, policemen, and other civilian officials have been
"flying blind" in their efforts to stabilize countries ravaged by
war. The UN realized the need to put knowledge, guidance and
doctrine, and reflection on failures and successes at the center of
the institution.
Building on an innovative multi-disciplinary framework, The New
World of UN Peace Operations provides a first comprehensive account
of learning in peacekeeping. Covering the crucial past decade of
expansion in peace operations, it zooms into a dozen cases of
attempted learning across four crucial domains: police assistance,
judicial reform, reintegration of former combatants, and mission
integration. Throughout the different cases, the book analyzes the
role of key variables as enablers and stumbling blocks for
learning: bureaucratic politics, the learning infrastructure,
leadership as well as power and interests of member states.
Building on five years of research and access to key documents and
decision-makers, it presents a vivid portrait of an international
bureaucracy struggling to turn itself into a learning organization.
Aimed at policy-makers, diplomats, and a wide academic audience
(including those working in international relations, peace
research, political science, public administration, and
organizational sociology), The New World of UN Peace Operations is
an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the evolution of
modern peace operations.
