The Oxford Handbook of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations de Joachim Koops

The Oxford Handbook of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations: Oxford Handbooks

Editat de Joachim Koops, Norrie MacQueen, Thierry Tardy, Paul D. Williams
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iul 2017
The Oxford Handbook on United Nations Peacekeeping Operations presents an innovative, authoritative, and accessible examination and critique of the United Nations peacekeeping operations. Since the late 1940s, but particularly since the end of the cold war, peacekeeping has been a central part of the core activities of the United Nations and a major process in global security governance and the management of international relations in general. The volume will present a chronological analysis, designed to provide a comprehensive perspective that highlights the evolution of UN peacekeeping and offers a detailed picture of how the decisions of UN bureaucrats and national governments on the set-up and design of particular UN missions were, and remain, influenced by the impact of preceding operations. The volume will bring together leading scholars and senior practitioners in order to provide overviews and analyses of all 65 peacekeeping operations that have been carried out by the United Nations since 1948. As with all Oxford Handbooks, the volume will be agenda-setting in importance, providing the authoritative point of reference for all those working throughout international relations and beyond.

Recenzii

As with all Oxford Handbooks, this publication masters its enormous task with precision and elegance, providing readers with insightful summary chapters in Part I, followed by highly readable case studies in chronological order of the peacekeeping operations in Part II . . . the editors and writers have made an important contribution to promote such an understanding among the UN member states.
These chapters cover extensive ground and provide an up-to-date perspective on peacekeeping and international security. They also succeed in dispelling the conceptual confusion that prevails in some corners of the literature on peace missions . . . The book brings together an impressive group of academics and practitioners including leading scholars, senior diplomats and military officers with first-hand experience in UN peace operations.
