Focusing on contrasting case studies of the Congo, Cyprus, Somalia and Angola, as well as more recent operations in Sierra Leone and East Timor, it probes new evidence with clarity and rigour.   The authors conclude that most peacekeeping operations - whether in the Cold War or Post-Cold War periods - were flawed due to the failure of the UN member states to agree upon achievable objectives, the precise nature of the operations and provision of the necessary resources, and unrealistic post-1989 expectations that UN peacekeeping operations could be adapted to the changed international circumstances. The study concludes by looking at the Brahimi reforms, questions whether these are realistically achievable and looks at their impact on contemporary peace operations in Sierra Leone, East Timor and elsewhere.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49555463012625,"sku":"GOR013308772","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/071465597X.jpg?v=1751262802"},{"product_id":"peacekeeping-and-conflict-resolution-book-oliver-ramsbotham-9780714680392","title":"Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution","description":"Conflict resolution theory has become relevant to the various challenges faced by the United Nations peacekeeping forces as efforts are made to learn from the traumatic and devastating impact of the many civil wars that have erupted in the 1990s.

Francophone Africa as a specific space is relatively little studied in the peace and security literature, despite the fact that almost half of all peacekeepers are deployed or were deployed in this part of Africa during the last decade. It is an arena for intervention that deserves more serious attention, if only because it provides fertile ground for exploring the key questions raised in the peacekeeping and peacebuilding literature. For instance, in 2002 a French operation (Licorne) was launched and in 2003 a UN force was deployed in Côte d’Ivoire alongside the French force there.    Filling a gap in the current literature, Peace Operations in the Francophone World critically examines peacekeeping and peacebuilding practices in the francophone world, including but not limited to conflict prevention and resolution, security sector reform (SSR), francophone politics, and North–South relations. The book explores whether peace and security operations in francophone spaces have exceptional characteristics when compared with those carried out in other parts of the world and assesses whether an analysis of these operations in the francophone world can make a specific and original contribution to wider international debates about peacekeeping and peacebuilding.    This book will be of much interest to students of peacekeeping, peacebuilding, peace and conflict studies, African politics, security studies, and IR in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51110637207825,"sku":"NIN9780367600709","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52532013203729,"sku":"NLS9780367600709","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367600706.jpg?v=1751071820"},{"product_id":"peace-operations-and-organized-crime-book-james-cockayne-9780415601702","title":"Peace Operations and Organized Crime","description":"Peace operations are increasingly on the front line in the international community’s fight against organized crime; this book explores how, in some cases, peace operations and organized crime are clear enemies, while in others, they may become tacit allies.  The threat posed by organized crime to international and human security has become a matter of considerable strategic concern for national and international decision-makers, so it is somewhat surprising how little thought has been devoted to addressing the complex relationship between organized crime and peace operations. This volume addresses this gap, questioning the emerging orthodoxy that portrays organized crime as an external threat to the liberal peace championed by western and allied states and delivered through peace operations. Based upon a series of case studies it concludes that organized crime is both a potential enemy and a potential ally of peace operations, and it argues for the need to distinguish between strategies to contain organized crime and strategies to transform the political economies in which it flourishes. The editors argue for the development of intelligent, transnational, and transitional law enforcement that can make the most of organized crime as a potential ally for transforming political economies, while at the same time containing the threat it presents as an enemy to building effective and responsible states.

Bringing together leading international scholars, this book presents the latest empirical research alongside detailed theoretical analysis. Examining the key questions local parties and the international community have encountered in Kosovo, including how to develop effective and inclusive local government, how to counter crime and the dysfunctional aspects of liberal economic reform, how to unite the partly opposed goals of reconstructing the province while avoiding renewed ethnic and international strife, and how to handle the specific challenge of Kosovo’s future status. The contributors also re-examine the background factors that continue to influence and hamper the attempt to administrate and reconstruct the province, first of all the nationalist ideologies and the record of ethnic violence.

However, there is very little published research on why nations actually commit forces to peacekeeping operations. This new book meets this need.  The authors focus specifically on the political and economic motivations that influence the decision to participate in peacekeeping. They consider how definitions of national interest frame the political debate, and what the reasons are for the military support for, or opposition to, peacekeeping operations. They also explore the role of inter-agency politics, the role of public opinion in peacekeeping decisions, the influence of pressure from other nations and non-nation actors to commit peacekeeping forces.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51208885436689,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51208891498769,"sku":"NIN9780714655963","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52664573395217,"sku":"NLS9780714655963","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0714655961.jpg?v=1751137172"},{"product_id":"un-peace-operations-book-eirin-mobekk-9780367861544","title":"Un UN Peace Operations","description":"This book assesses the UN peace operations in Haiti and establishes what lessons should be taken into account for future operations elsewhere.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51226903642385,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51226905313553,"sku":"NIN9780367861544","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52533194785041,"sku":"NLS9780367861544","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367861542.jpg?v=1751196501"},{"product_id":"peacekeeping-and-the-protection-of-civilians-book-timothy-donais-9781032270500","title":"Peacekeeping and the Protection of Civilians","description":"This book critically examines the evolution of protection practices in UN peace operations over the past two decades.  Protecting civilians has become central to the work of contemporary UN peace operations, yet the ability of peacekeepers to offer meaningful levels of protection to vulnerable civilians in conflict zones remains highly circumscribed. Focusing on the implementation of protection of civilians (PoC) mandates across three high-profile UN missions – UNMISS in South Sudan, MONUSCO in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and MINUSCA in the Central African Republic – this study asks who precisely UN peacekeepers protect and how they go about protecting them. Drawing on the key distinction between coercive and non-coercive protection strategies, this book examines how peacekeepers have struggled to translate ambitious and far-reaching protection mandates into effective protection practices in some of the world’s most dangerous and difficult conflict contexts.   This book will be of much interest to students of peacekeeping, civilian protection, African politics, war studies and security studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51628321407249,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51628321571089,"sku":"NGR9781032270500","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52591793078545,"sku":"NLS9781032270500","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53468540961041,"sku":"NIN9781032270500","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032270500.jpg?v=1750854207"},{"product_id":"confronting-past-human-rights-violations-book-chandra-lekha-sriram-9780415407588","title":"Confronting Past Human Rights Violations","description":"This book examines what makes accountability for previous violations more or less possible for transitional regimes to achieve. It closely examines the other vital goals of such regimes against which accountability is often balanced. The options available are not simply prosecution or pardon, as the most heated polemics of the debate over transitional justice suggest, but a range of options from complete amnesty through truth commissions and lustration or purification to prosecutions. The question, then, is not whether or not accountability can be achieved, but what degree of accountability can be achieved by a given country. The focus of the book is on the politics of transition: what makes accountability more or less feasible and what strategies are deployed by regimes to achieve greater accountability (or alternatively, greater reform). The result is a more nuanced understanding of the different conditions and possibilities that countries face, and the lesson that there is no one-size-fits-all prescription that can be handed to transitional regimes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52127219712273,"sku":"NLS9780415407588","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415407588.jpg?v=1757484678"},{"product_id":"military-and-negotiation-book-deborah-goodwin-9780415350945","title":"The Military and Negotiation","description":"A new investigation of the role of the modern soldier\/diplomat and the nature of military negotiation, in comparison with negotiation in other key contexts.

First, there are more of the targeted sanctions, including financial, travel, aviation, special commodity and arms sanctions. Furthermore, there are considerable but varied practices in implementation. Also there are now sanctions by new actors (regional bodies, international organizations). These all put new strains on international bodies in carrying out sanctions or getting member states to work together in these efforts. These challenges are analyzed in this volume, with some examples, but mostly from a generalist perspective. A completely novel aspect is that this volume also includes studies of the difficulties that are met by targeting actors, their way of managing the situations, and most interesting, the human rights of such actors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135161757969,"sku":"NLS9780415355964","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415355964.jpg?v=1757547527"},{"product_id":"nato-and-peace-support-operations-1991-1999-book-henning-frantzen-9780415407892","title":"NATO and Peace Support Operations, 1991-1999","description":"This new book addresses the key question of how NATO and three of its member states are configuring their policies and military doctrines in order to handle the new strategic environment.

These case studies are supplemented by an analysis of Nordics’ collective efforts to replace their old Cold War peacekeeping model with a new one that meets the requirements of the new era. The overall conclusion is that the Nordics have succeeded in meeting the post-Cold War requirements for success, both individually and collectively, and that a new effective model is in the making.   This book makes several important contributions to the literature on peace operations. First, it demolishes the widely held view that the Nordic countries remain a bastion of traditional Cold War peacekeeping with little relevance for contemporary operations. Second, it constitutes the first systematic overview of the reforms undertaken by the four Nordic countries since the end of the Cold War. Third, it fills a \"historical\" gap by providing a comprehensive analysis of the celebrated old Nordic Cold War model, explaining how and why it developed and how it functioned. Finally, the analytical framework is a general tool which can be used to evaluate the approaches to peace operations employed by countries around the world.   This book will be of great interest to all students of peacekeeping, peace studies, security studies and IR in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52334334050577,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52334334771473,"sku":"NLS9780415383608","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415383608.jpg?v=1758156556"},{"product_id":"political-ethics-and-the-united-nations-book-manuel-froehlich-9780415445320","title":"Political Ethics and The United Nations","description":"Based on a wealth of sources, files and interviews, and including previously unpublished material, this book explores the foundations of the political ethics of Dag Hammarskjold, the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, examining how they influenced his actions in several key crisis situations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52335175368977,"sku":"NLS9780415445320","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53034981720337,"sku":"NIN9780415445320","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415445320.jpg?v=1758159204"},{"product_id":"political-ethics-and-the-united-nations-book-manuel-froehlich-9780415588331","title":"Political Ethics and The United Nations","description":"Based on a wealth of sources, files and interviews, and including previously unpublished material, this book explores the foundations of the political ethics of Dag Hammarskjold, the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, examining how they influenced his actions in several key crisis situations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52335730491665,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52335731376401,"sku":"NLS9780415588331","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415588331.jpg?v=1758160969"},{"product_id":"politics-of-peacekeeping-in-the-post-cold-war-era-book-david-s-sorenson-9780714684888","title":"The Politics of Peacekeeping in the Post-Cold War Era","description":"This book focuses on explaining peacekeeping commitment decisions at the nation-state level, filling a gap in the peacekeeping scholarly literature on the political dynamics of peacekeeping decisions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52414524227857,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52414524686609,"sku":"NLS9780714684888","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780714684888.jpg?v=1758842766"},{"product_id":"confronting-past-human-rights-violations-book-chandra-lekha-sriram-9780714655994","title":"Confronting Past Human Rights Violations","description":"This book examines what makes accountability for previous violations more or less possible for transitional regimes to achieve. It closely examines the other vital goals of such regimes against which accountability is often balanced. The options available are not simply prosecution or pardon, as the most heated polemics of the debate over transitional justice suggest, but a range of options from complete amnesty through truth commissions and lustration or purification to prosecutions. The question, then, is not whether or not accountability can be achieved, but what degree of accountability can be achieved by a given country. The focus of the book is on the politics of transition: what makes accountability more or less feasible and what strategies are deployed by regimes to achieve greater accountability (or alternatively, greater reform). The result is a more nuanced understanding of the different conditions and possibilities that countries face, and the lesson that there is no one-size-fits-all prescription that can be handed to transitional regimes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52424250687761,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52424251146513,"sku":"NLS9780714655994","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780714655994.jpg?v=1759151330"},{"product_id":"international-sanctions-book-carina-staibano-9780415355971","title":"International Sanctions","description":"The main theme of the book is that the new types of sanctions constitute a challenge to the international system. First, there are more of the targeted sanctions, including financial, travel, aviation, special commodity and arms sanctions. Furthermore, there are considerable but varied practices in implementation. Also there are now sanctions by new actors (regional bodies, international organizations). These all put new strains on international bodies in carrying out sanctions or getting member states to work together in these efforts. These challenges are analyzed in this volume, with some examples, but mostly from a generalist perspective. A completely novel aspect is that this volume also includes studies of the difficulties that are met by targeting actors, their way of managing the situations, and most interesting, the human rights of such actors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52456529953041,"sku":"NLS9780415355971","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53081596559633,"sku":"NIN9780415355971","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415355971.jpg?v=1759377616"},{"product_id":"peace-operations-in-the-francophone-world-book-bruno-charbonneau-9780415749138","title":"Peace Operations in the Francophone World","description":"This publication critically examines peacebuilding, humanitarian intervention and peace operation practices and experiences in francophone parts of the world.

Specifically, it asks: what happened to cause the Clinton Executive to abandon its previously favoured policy platform of humanitarian multilateralism?   Clinton, Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Interventionism aims to satisfy a large gap in our understanding of events surrounding 1990s peacekeeping policy, humanitarian intervention and the Rwandan genocide, as well as shedding some light on US policy on Africa, and the issues surrounding the current peacekeeping debate.  Leonie Murray takes an unorthodox stance with regard to the role of public opinion on peacekeeping policy, and delves deeper into the roles that the legislature, the military, and in particular, the executive had to play in the development of US peacekeeping policy in the 1990s. The conclusions reached concerning the role of the United States and the International Community in the face of the Rwandan Genocide are of particular note in their departure from the accepted wisdom on the subject.

The book examines whether widespread implementation of UNSCR 1325 and the broader WPS agenda via gender mainstreaming in UN operations has translated into increased gender equality in peacekeeping operations, the broader UN institutional context and, by extension, the host countries in which missions are situated, via norm dissemination. The book investigates this via a review of the implementation of UNSCR1325 in the operations chosen as research sites over three snapshot years. The book undertakes a comparative analysis that scrutinizes if, how and under what conditions gender mainstreaming has succeeded as a strategy to advance gender equality by analyzing the factors\/conditions that have led to successful gender mainstreaming across the operational context, and those that have impeded this outcome. The book concludes that, despite rhetorical commitments to women’s equality in peacekeeping since the passage of UNSCR 1325, progress on the ground has remained minimal, and that the operational environment continues to be discriminatory against women. Both quantitatively and qualitatively, women do not participate as equal partners in peacekeeping and continue to have less access to resources and decision-making power, overall. The book interrogates that by exploring the spaces available within law, policy and practice of the UN to pursue the human rights agenda of gender equality and considers whether UNSCR 1325 has enlarged those spaces. It also points to the irony of internal UN structures failing to adequately adapt to their own gender mainstreaming mandates, while those same structures have delivered some gender equality mandates successes externally, at local levels.

The problem of corruption has become increasingly important in war to peace transitions, eroding confidence in new democratic institutions, undermining economic development, diverting scarce public resources, and reducing the delivery of vital social services. Conflict-affected countries offer an ideal environment for pervasive corruption. Their weak administrative institutions and fragile legal and judicial systems mean that they lack the capacity to effectively investigate and punish corrupt behaviour. In addition, the sudden inflow of donor aid into post-conflict countries and the desire of peacebuilding actors (including the UN, the international financial institutions, aid agencies, and non-governmental organisations) to disburse these funds quickly, create incentives and opportunities for corruption.  While corruption imposes costs and compromises on peacebuilding efforts, opportunities for exploiting public office can also be used to entice armed groups into signing peace agreements, thus stabilising post-war environments. This book explores the different functions of corruption both conceptually and through the lens of a wide range of case studies. It also examines the impact of key anti-corruption policies on peacebuilding environments. The dynamics that shape the relationship between corruption and the political and economic developments in post-conflict countries are complex. This analysis highlights that fighting corruption is only one of several important peacebuilding objectives, and that due consideration must be given to the specific social and political context in considering how a sustainable peace can be achieved.

The changing dynamics of peacekeeping in today’s world have encouraged a more cooperative approach between international and regional actors. At the centre of this book is the analysis of how an African security regime complex could emerge in the area of cooperative peacekeeping. The African regime complex on peacekeeping includes a number of organizations at the regional and sub-regional African level, as well as global institutions such as the UN, interregional partners like the EU and individual lead nations. This book is the first in providing a systematic overview of peacekeeping doctrines, capacities and deployments of these key actors and single lead states. Theoretically, the book links up with regime complexity scholarship but connects it with dependency theory. Here inter-institutional relations are conceptualised as acts of resource exchange. The book explores how primarily international organizations are partnering by exchanging resources. Empirically, the study analyses the phenomenon of regime complexity in three prominent African crises covering Eastern Africa (Somalia), Central African (Central African Republic) and Western Africa (Mali).  This book will be of much interest to students of peacekeeping, international organisations, African politics, security studies and IR in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616641904913,"sku":"NLS9781138809734","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138809734.jpg?v=1761527904"},{"product_id":"cooperative-peacekeeping-in-africa-book-malte-brosig-9781138310452","title":"Cooperative Peacekeeping in Africa","description":"This book examines peacekeeping in Africa, exploring how the various actors are forming an African security regime complex.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52686195130641,"sku":"NLS9781138310452","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138310452.jpg?v=1762327441"},{"product_id":"human-interaction-and-soft-skills-in-peacekeeping-book-anne-holohan-9781041265900","title":"Human Interaction and Soft Skills in Peacekeeping","description":"This book challenges the dominant top-down view of peacekeeping by focusing on the individual peacekeeper’s embodied, everyday experiences and interactions in the field, and the soft skills needed to navigate those interactions.  Macro-level goals (such as security and stability) often hinge on micro-level dynamics: how peacekeepers perceive, interpret, and navigate interpersonal and inter-organizational encounters. These encounters are shaped by the varied set of meanings brought to every interaction by the embodied individual soldier and police officer. Meanings around gender, culture, and their own roles are drawn from the individual peacekeeper’s organisation and their own society. The other peacekeepers and the members of the local populations bring their own sets of meanings. Interactions can produce common understanding and cooperation, or they can lead to an impasse, damaged relationships and poor cooperation. The book draws on 177 in-depth interviews with experienced male and female military and police peacekeepers from six nations to provide significant insight into how interactions at the micro-level are crucial for effective cooperation and achievement of the mission goals. It delineates and demonstrates through vivid scenarios the soft skills each peacekeeper needs to improve these interactions: awareness of organisational culture, awareness of local culture, awareness of gender, awareness of the role of empathy; and crucially, the willingness and capability to act upon these.  This book will be of much interest to students of peacekeeping, conflict studies, security studies, gender studies, sociology, and International Relations in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53635864920337,"sku":"NGR9781041265900","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"evaluating-peacekeeping-missions-book-sarahmyriam-brule-9781138495197","title":"Evaluating Peacekeeping Missions","description":"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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53658781450513,"sku":"NLS9781138495197","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138495197.jpg?v=1781427493"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/cass-series-on-peacekeeping-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
