Leveraging for Success in United Nations Peace Operations
- Leveraging for Success in United Nations Peace Operations
(Westport, CT: Greenwood and Praeger Publishers, 2003).
In many peoples' minds the history of United Nations peace operations in the 1990s is one where failures so overshadowed successes that they threw a pall over the organization's 50th anniversary celebration in 1995. While numerous analyses have been done to derive lessons learned from the failures, far less attention has been paid to what could be learned from the successes. Utilizing both case studies and cross-cutting analyses, this book helps to fill that gap. It utilizes an organizing framework built around the concept of "leverage" to investigate how outside actors induced belligerents to stop fighting, accept intervention, and implement stabilizing measures. The book's authors include both practitioners and academics, and is intended to help advance both the theory and the practice of peace operations.
