Download or read book Peace Operations and Global Order written by Alex J. Bellamy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peacekeeping in Global Politics investigates the changing role of peacekeeping and competing perspectives about what that role should be. It begins by addressing broad issues connected with the transition from a Westphalian to post-Westphalian international society, the ethical and legal dilemmas provoked by armed intervention, and the alternative ways of conceptualising the role that peacekeeping plays. It goes on to critically chart the development of 'traditional' peacekeeping before outlining how the role of force in peacekeeping operations has changed and the close links between peacekeeping, conflict prevention and conflict resolution. The final part of the volume focuses specifically on globalization and the effects that this has had on peacekeeping practices. In particular, it focuses on the changing conflict environment, the growing tendency towards subcontracting peacekeeping duties, and the development of regional peacekeeping capabilities. Overall, this volume makes two contributions to the way we think about peacekeeping: first it demonstrates that the theory and practice of peacekeeping is embedded in global politics and second it shows that there an on-going debate about what peacekeeping is for.
Download or read book Peace Operations and Common Sense written by Denis McLean and published by . This book was released on 2004-08-01 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shortcomings of several recent peace operations (PO) have led many to conclude that the whole concept is flawed & has little bearing on U.S. interests. The record, however, suggests that PO have not only reduced instability in many parts of the globe but have also been a minor boon to U.S. foreign policy. This report confronts this gulf between Wash. perceptions & reality. What are termed here POÓ run the gamut through 6 more or less distinct types of civilian, civilian-mil., or just plain mil. programs: from peacemaking & peacekeeping, through reconstruction & protective engagement or containment, to deterrence & peace enforcement. PO offer flexible, low-key, low-cost options for the pursuit of national security & foreign policy interests.

Download or read book Peace Operations and Restorative Justice written by Peter Reddy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a bold vision and a distinctive message, Reddy stipulates that international peacekeeping can be designed and implemented using the principles of restorative justice. To prove this, Reddy discusses the congruence of crime, armed conflict and violent disorder, critiquing restorative justice and its nuanced character as a suitable application to complex civil wars. This book provides a comprehensive survey of peace operations and then focuses on the cases of Somalia and Bougainville. The comparison between their societal contexts, their conflicts, peace operations and final outcomes are crucial to this argument. Furthermore, this shows how the constraining, maximising and emergent values of restorative justice can be applied in a peacekeeping setting, from the overall command level through to the behaviours of deployed peacekeepers - with direct contemporary application. This sharp study makes for evocative reading as it introduces the new concept of regeneration as key to any restoratively arranged peace operation. Military, police, NGO and civilian peacekeeper practitioners, as well as academic theorists, can use this unique work to produce better and more lasting results for conflict ridden communities.

Download or read book UN Peace Operations and Asian Security written by Mely Cabellero-Anthony and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-09-27 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an unparallelled analysis of the state of the United Nations peace operations and their impact on Asian security.This new volume examines new strategies being adopted by the UN; including doctrinal shifts in peace operation, and assesses the division of labour between the UN, regional organisation and non-governmental organisations/actors. Based on selected papers from mostly Asian scholars, the book offers regional perspectives from South, Southeast and Northeast Asia on the changing nature of UN Peace operations and analyses some of the core issues that are of critical relevance to regional security in Asia. In addition it reveals interesting new insights on the new players in the area of peace operations – i.e. China and Japan and considers their projected roles as defined by their respective security concepts. It also delves into issues of possible areas of concern caused by the new activism of these regional powers in peace operations. Finally, the book also revisits the significant lessons learnt from the UN experience in Cambodia and East Timor and examines their impact on future directions of peace operations. This book was previously published as a special issue of the leading journal International Peacekeeping.
