The complexity of peacekeeping missions and their effectiveness has outpaced our understanding of them. In this nuanced book, Diehl, Druckman, and Mueller offer a clear framework for understanding the different missions involved in peace operations, the ways in which they interact, and the effects of these dynamics on success. This is the much-needed advancement we have been waiting for.
