Although the concept of credibility has been identified by the United Nations as a significant factor in successful peacekeeping operations, its role has largely been ignored in the literature on peacekeeping at the local level. In this book, Newby provides the first detailed examination of credibility’s essential place in peacekeeping. With empirically rich analysis, Newby explores the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and its navigation of political tensions in one of the world’s geopolitical flashpoints, a place where the mission’s work is constrained by weak local legitimacy born of a complex political situation. Identifying four types of credibility—technical, material, security, and responsiveness—Newby traces the ways in which building credibility served UNIFIL and has enabled the mission to exercise its mandate despite significant challenges on the ground. Peacekeeping in South Lebanon unpacks the day-to-day business of running a peace mission and argues that credibility should be regarded as an independent construct when considering how a peacekeeping operation functions and survives.

The book explores how the WPS agenda in the region is imagined, interpreted and implemented. The Middle East and North Africa exhibit many of the features the WPS agenda seeks to redress, such as historical grievances, discriminatory legal systems, economic and gender inequality, and fragility marked by violence, extremism and protracted displacement. The region is highly militarized by prolonged conflicts, and the enduring occupation of Palestine. These conditions lead to sexual and gender-based violence that disproportionally affect women and their effective and meaningful participation in conflict prevention and resolution. This volume examines how women’s and feminist groups engage with peace and security issues. It analyses what they have gained from WPS, and how local women’s activism may either clash or overlap with WPS. It also looks at how women in the region understand peace and security beyond the confines of WPS, or if they are confined to women’s issues.
