Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution
ISBN: 9780714680392 / Angielski / Miękka / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conflict resolution and peacekeeping are not only closely related conceptually, they were also inventions of the same historical period. Peacekeeping was first defined under the Hammarskjold Principles of 1956, while we can date the formal institutionalization of conflict resolution to the founding of the Journal of Conflict Resolution in 1957. However, it is in the 1990s that conflict resolution theorists turned to the perspectives of conflict theory in an effort to develop more effective practices of peacekeeping. This book is about the ways in which conflict resolution theory has become...

ISBN: 9780714681016 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The nature of UN operational involvement in the practical management of conflict has evolved dramatically since the end of the Cold War. The post-Cold War liberation of the Security Council, the subsequent paralysis in its decision-making competence, and the apparent dilution of the concept of sovereignty as a prohibition on intervention have been principal factors in the evolving fortunes of UK peace-support operations. This evolving environment has had profound implications for the way in which the humanitarian community, the United Nations and military forces engaged under a...

National sovereignty, defined as a nation's right to exercise its own law and practise over its territory, is a cherished norm in the modern era, and yet it raises great legal, political and ethical dilemmas.

What constitutes an international community in this regard, and under what conditions...

ISBN: 9780714684406 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Republic of Ireland has won its status as a leading contributor to international peacekeeping operations, which has been its key 'foreign policy' since the 1960s. But why is Ireland so keen to be involved? This new book asks and answers this and other key questions about Ireland's close involvement with the EU. It cannot simply be for charitable reasons, so is it because it is a neutral state or because it is a middle power? Overall, is Ireland's peacekeeping policy based on realism and liberalism? The characteristics of peacekeeping operations have changed significantly,...

ISBN: 9780714684895 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book seeks to examine whether peacekeeping fundamentally changed between the Cold War and post-Cold War periods. The author concludes that most operations - whether in the Cold War or post-Cold War periods - were flawed for the following reasons: the failure of the UN member states to agree upon clear 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.
