Concluding with an examination of the implications of these findings for security policy in contemporary democracies, Peacemaking by Democracies...

ISBN: 9780275969066 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Three case studies in which the United Nations used this type of force are examined: the early 1960s UN operation in the Congo (ONUC); the UN operations on Somalia (UNITAF and UNOSOM); and the mission in Bosnia (UNPROFOR). Until now, no single investigation had considered these three case...
