This study challenges the easy assumption that peacekeeping as
we've known it in the past will be the 'pill for every ill' in the
future. A 'new world order' means new types of conflict breaking
out almost anywhere in a world that is more volatile and less
predictable than before. Contributors to this volume argue that we
need to get back to basics; that there are sobering lessons to be
learnt from Somalia, the Lebanon and Cambodia; that we need to ask
some fundamental questions. Can peacekeeping be 'reformed' or must
it be totally 'reinvented'? Are soldiers the best peacekeepers and,
if not, who should replace them?

Are police forces agents of the state or of society? How do
different police forces maintain order? How does the nature of a
country's political system affect the state's reaction to disorder?
This study identifies trends in public-order policing across a
broad sample of seven countries: Britain, Northern Ireland, the
Irish Republic, the United States of America, Israel, South Africa
and China. It explains why the handling of disorder has become a
controversial and topical issue in different parts of the world.
Each chapter provides a range of data on the size, make-up and cost
of the police and follows a common format in analysing the place of
the police at the junction of state-society relations.
Challenging the orthodox view that European integration is eroding
national identity, this groundbreaking volume links identity,
citizenship and democratic legitimacy in a unique way by focusing
on key themes: c the suggestion that the EMU project is much more
than an economic enterprise: it will invade national sovereignty
and destroy cherished national symbols. c relating assertive
regional and ethnic identities to evolving concepts of EU
citizenship and a European identity. c the danger the whole
European project may be in if a genuine EU-level citizenship is not
created. The role of frontiers in the integration process is
ambiguous and double-edged. Frontier zones once had a life of their
own and, ironically, integration emphasizes frontiers in a new way.
Written by authors of different nationalities and disciplines, this
timely volume is accessible for readers from many backgrounds, and
will lead them to a clearer understanding of the metamorphosing
'New Europe'.
