This edited volume offers a thorough review of peacekeeping theory
and reality in contemporary contexts, and aligns the two to help
inform practice. Recent UN peacekeeping operations have challenged
the traditional peacekeeping principles of consent, impartiality
and the minimum use of force. The pace and scope of these changes
have now reached a tipping point, as the new mandates are
fundamentally challenging the continued validity of the UN
peacekeeping's core principles and identity. In response the volume
analyses the growing gap between these actual practices and
existing UN peacekeeping doctrine, exploring how it undermines the
effectiveness of UN operations, and endangers lives, arguing that a
common doctrine is a critical starting point for effective
multi-national operations. In order to determine the degree to
which this general principle applies to the current state of UN
peacekeeping, this book: Provides a review of conceptual and
doctrinal developments in UN peacekeeping operations through a
historical perspective Examines the debate related to peace
operations doctrine and concepts among key Member States Focuses on
the actual practice of peacekeeping by conducting case studies of
several UN peacekeeping missions in order to identify gaps between
practice and doctrine Critically analyses gaps between emerging
peacekeeping practice and existing doctrine Recommends that the UN
moves beyond the peacekeeping principles and doctrine of the past
Combining empirical case-based studies on UN peace operations, with
studies on the views and policies of key UN Security Council
members that generate these mandates, and views of key contributors
of UN peacekeepers, this volume will be of great use to
policy-makers; UN officials and peace operations practitioners; and
academics working on peace and conflict/security studies,
international organizations and conflict management.
This book examines the concept of legitimacy as it may be used to
explain the success, or failure, of key stability operations since
the end of the Cold War. In the success of stability operations,
legitimacy is key. In order to achieve success, the intervening
force must create a sense of legitimacy of the mission among the
various constituencies concerned with and involved in the venture.
These parties include the people of the host nation, the host
government (whose relations with the local people must be
legitimate), political elites and the general public
worldwide-including the intervening parties' own domestic
constituencies, who will sustain (or not sustain) the intervention
by offering (or withdrawing) support. This book seeks to bring into
close scrutiny the legitimacy of stability interventions in the
post-Cold War era, by proposing a concept that captures both the
multi-faceted nature of legitimacy and the process of legitimation
that takes place in each case. Case studies on Liberia, Bosnia,
Somalia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and Iraq explain how legitimacy
related to the outcome of these operations. This book will be of
much interest to students of stability operations,
counterinsurgency, peace operations, humanitarian intervention, and
IR/security studies in general.
