Opis

A history of colonial legacies in United Nations peacekeeping operations in the aftermath of the Second World War.

Recenzje

'Margot Tudor's account of the early years of UN peacekeeping reveals the power of mid-level UN intermediaries to limit the sovereignty of smaller postcolonial states, thus ensuring their alliance with a liberal internationalist order. Blue Helmet Bureaucrats provides a meticulously researched historical reckoning with the imperial origins of liberal internationalism.' Meredith Terretta, University of Ottawa
