This important new book, written by renowned experts, takes a look under the bonnet of UN peacekeeping to examine how the different tasks peacekeepers are given interact with one another and influence the overall effectiveness of UN operations. Combining detailed case studies with rigorous social scientific analysis, this book takes a giant leap in thought and understanding. The results are so compelling that readers—academics, students, and practitioners alike—won't look at peacekeeping in the same way again.
