Its aim is to not only fill a gap in the literature on peacekeeping, but to explore the implications and links between the mechanisms put in place by this peacekeeping mission in relation to conflict resolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of MINURSO (the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara), focused on its activities, composition, purpose, and operational future in Western Sahara, the world’s last colony. The book’s focus is broad, examining MINURSO from key historical, legal, military and political angles whilst assessing the future of UN peacekeeping missions in the Western Sahara. Supported by a diverse, international mix of perspectives and professions—including academics, lawyers, soldiers, and humanitarian aid workers—an in-depth view of MINURSO is provided, rooted in practical Western Saharan field experience. The authors reveal the complexities of the region and of the mission locally, but also analyze MINURSO through a global lens, focusing on relations with the United States, China, Russia, France, and African states. This approach emphasizes the importance of the region as a site of international struggle while remaining conscious of local contexts. A landmark contribution to peacekeeping studies, the book is vital reading for practitioners and academics focused on the Western Saharan conflict and the MENA region, but will also be of interest to those engaged in international relations, international law, and security studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conflict in Western Sahara is one of the oldest ones of recent times, dating back to 1975, when Morocco and Mauritania attacked and occupied the entire territory of former Spanish Sahara. However, the natives waged a guerrilla war against the occupying armies. Having the weaker army, Mauritania defeated and made peace with the Polisario Front - which represents the indigenous peoples - after a three-year conflict. The war between the Sahrawi guerrillas and the Moroccan Army has been raging for years with varying degrees of effectiveness, with significant personal and material losses for the opposing parties. After 25 years fighting, under international pressure, the opposing parties made peace, then in September 1991, the MINURSO peacekeeping operation to implement the referendum in Western Sahara began work. Although the opposing parties had previously agreed to a referendum to decide the fate of the area, it has yet to take place, and even today, contrary to its previous promises, Morocco is now only willing to grant a "high degree of autonomy" in the occupied Western Sahara. The Sahrawis refuse to accept this, thus the conflict has not ended to this day, and even in 2020, hostilities resumed between the opposing parties and a conflict of limited intensity has been going on ever since. MINURSO, which has been in operation for more than 30 years, has not been able to achieve the goal of holding a referendum for which it was set up, and as the only UN mission it cannot address the human rights situation in its area of operation, which also raises questions. The opposing parties have repeatedly violated ceasefire agreements in the past decades and restricted the activities and free movement of the mission and its personnel, which has put MINURSO in a "dormant" state. For years, the world's leading politicians have stressed that while running the mission will cost a lot of money, at least thanks to the peacekeepers, the status quo stands and there is no war. This, however, has not been the case since 2020 and it is not known whether the opposing parties will be able to establish anything similar to the 1990 agreement, or whether the limited conflict will continue or even escalate, leading to a regional war between the opposing parties and Algeria supporting the Sahrawis.The author of the book, János Besenyő, is a professor at the Óbuda University in Budapest, Hungary, who himself served as a peacekeeper in MINURSO presents the history of the area, the path leading to the creation of the mission, and its operation over the past three decades. In the creation of the book, he used several previously unpublished documents as well as several previously unpublished photographs taken by peacekeepers. This book is recommended not only to military, foreign policy and diplomatic experts, but also to anyone else interested in the history of the region, the events there, and the oldest peacekeeping operation in Africa.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations written by Joachim Koops and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 1031 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook on United Nations Peacekeeping Operations presents an innovative, authoritative, and accessible examination and critique of the United Nations peacekeeping operations. Since the late 1940s, but particularly since the end of the cold war, peacekeeping has been a central part of the core activities of the United Nations and a major process in global security governance and the management of international relations in general. The volume will present a chronological analysis, designed to provide a comprehensive perspective that highlights the evolution of UN peacekeeping and offers a detailed picture of how the decisions of UN bureaucrats and national governments on the set-up and design of particular UN missions were, and remain, influenced by the impact of preceding operations. The volume will bring together leading scholars and senior practitioners in order to provide overviews and analyses of all 65 peacekeeping operations that have been carried out by the United Nations since 1948. As with all Oxford Handbooks, the volume will be agenda-setting in importance, providing the authoritative point of reference for all those working throughout international relations and beyond.
