Beskrivning

Africa Nations have contributed to peace operations in conflict zones across the world since the deployment of the United Nations Operations in the Congo in 1960. This has placed Africa as a major stakeholder in the maintenance of peace and security. For over fifty years Ghana has earned the international reputation as one of the largest and consistent Troop Contributing Country in United Nations mandated peace operations. While Ghana has long been an active contributor to peace operations, there are few or no comparative studies that systematically analyze the actual roles played by troops in many of the different conflict context where they have served. This book therefore, focuses on a comparison of two peace operations undertaken by the forces of an African Nation in two different missions in Lebanon and Liberia.

Recensioner i media

This important book offers an in-depth look at the peacekeeping tasks, experiences and challenges of one of the United Nations most reliable and proficient peace building partners. Kotia’s highly readable and detailed strategic conflict assessment of Ghana’s peacekeeping experiences in Liberia and Lebanon provides not only a long-overdue description of this small West-African country’s impact on global security and conflict management, it also serves as a model for analyzing multi-dimensional peace operations and for drawing lessons that may shape the planning and conducting of future missions.
