Events in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans have proved that
failed and defeated states threaten the national security interests
of the United States and the stability of entire regions. But
success in addressing these threats clearly depends on more than
military might; the post-conflict period is equally crucial. Case
studies in this book examine the U.S. approach in Kosovo, East
Timor, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The book offers policy
guidance on how to handle current reconstruction challenges and on
building capacity to do a better job when America is inevitably
called on to restore failed nations in the future.
Keeping the Peace explores the new multidimensional role that the
United Nations has played in peacemaking, peacekeeping, and
peacebuilding over the last few years. By examining the
paradigm-setting cases of Cambodia and El Salvador, and drawing
lessons from these UN 'success stories', the book seeks to point
the way toward more effective ways for the international community
to address conflict in the post-Cold War era. This book is
especially timely given its focus on the heretofore amorphous
middle ground between traditional peacekeeping and peace. It
provides the first comparative, in-depth treatment of substantial
UN activities in everything from the demobilization and
reintegration of forces, the return of refugees, the monitoring of
human rights, and the design and supervision of constitutional,
judicial, and electoral reforms, to the observation and even
organization and conduct of elections, and the coordination of
support for economic rehabilitation and reconstruction of countries
torn by war.
