Opis

The speed, impact and extent of humanitarian emergencies - many of them militarized - has broadened the compass as well as increased the number of United Nations peacekeeping missions. As peace support operations, humanitarian intervention and other variants of traditional peacekeeping arise, practitioners and analyists have struggled to keep pace, conceptually as well as operationally.

This book is a long overdue assessment of the role of the UN specialized Agencies in peacekeeping operations. Special emphasis is given to that most vexed category, 'complex emergencies', invloving entrapped or victimized civilian populations and a plethora of UN national military and NGO actors.While based on the full range of recent history, the contributions to this volume are forward looking and policy-oriented, bringing a hard edged practicality to complex and hitherto under-examined issues.
