This book was released on 2012-06-16 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines forty-six UN peacekeeping operations, initiated from 1956 through 2006 to manage cases of intrastate and interstate conflicts, to identify the most significant factors that could help to explain the success or lack of success of such operations. Factor analysis is used to exploit the correlations between independent variables in order to regroup them into a smaller set of factors explaining the success or failure of these operations. The results show that the success of a UN peacekeeping operation can be explained by factors that are related to four categories of variables: i) the scope of resources invested in peacekeeping; ii) the duration and intensity of conflict and time of preparation for peacekeeping intervention; iii) the political support for peacekeeping from the UN Security Council; and iv) the type of conflict.
Book Synopsis What Explains the Success of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations? by : Haklin Kim
Download or read book What Explains the Success of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations? written by Haklin Kim and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What determines peacekeeping success in civil conflicts? This is an important and practical issue to the UN decision-making community as well as academia. Peacekeeping can provide one mechanism for the manipulation of the costs and benefits of fighting. I argue peacekeeping can help overcome the obstacles to sustaining peace by increasing the costs of war, decreasing the costs of peace, and increasing the parties' capabilities for both war and peace. I articulate two sets of hypotheses based on a rational choice model of peacekeeping success and test them using a newly constructed UN peacekeeping dataset. The descriptive evidence gives the following: (1) the end of the Cold War makes a clear change in the frequency of peacekeeping while it does not have any impact on peacekeeping success; and (2) peacekeeping success does not linearly correlate to mission intensity yet it is clearly tied to mission type. The probit analysis shows peacekeeping success is associated with both the environmental and management factors. The findings recommend the following to bring about successful peacekeeping: (1) the UN should coherently designs its mission not to mix or muddle fundamentally incompatible tasks; (2) as the findings indicate the presence of a peace agreement is positively correlated to peacekeeping success, the UN must utilize its peacemaking activities for success; (3) the UN should select an appropriate mission type considering both the environment of conflicts and the degree of international concern. The findings show UN-controlled coercive peacekeeping missions are most risky. I also examine the endogenous nature of the UN's response to conflicts. Interestingly, when controlling for its endogenous nature, the findings are different from those of the probit analysis. The findings generate two important implications: (1) peacekeeping success and the degree of the UN's efforts are determined jointly. This implies the UN intelligently chooses the degree of its efforts in connection with the prospect of success. Second, the findings show the major powers' involvement does not directly and independently affect peacekeeping success but indirectly does so through strengthening peacekeeping forces. This gives important implications concerning the role of major powers in the effectiveness of UN peacekeeping.--Author's abstract.

Download or read book Why Peacekeeping Fails written by D. Jett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dennis C. Jett examines why peacekeeping operations fail by comparing the unsuccessful attempt at peacekeeping in Angola with the successful effort in Mozambique, alongside a wide range of other peacekeeping experiences. The book argues that while the causes of past peacekeeping failures can be identified, the chances for success will be difficult to improve because of the way such operations are initiated and conducted, and the way the United Nations operates as an organization. Jett reviews the history of peacekeeping and the evolution in the number, size, scope, and cost of peacekeeping missions. He also explains why peacekeeping has become more necessary, possible, and desired and yet, at the same time, more complex, more difficult, and less frequently used. The book takes a hard look at the UN's actions and provides useful information for understanding current conflicts.

Book Synopsis Unintended Consequences of Peacekeeping Operations by : Chiyuki Aoi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deployment of a large number of soldiers, police officers and civilian personnel inevitably has various effects on the host society and economy, not all of which are in keeping with the peacekeeping mandate and intent or are easily discernible prior to the intervention. This book is one of the first attempts to improve our understanding of unintended consequences of peacekeeping operations, by bringing together field experiences and academic analysis. The aim of the book is not to discredit peace operations but rather to improve the way in which such operations are planned and managed.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations by : Joachim Koops
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.

Book Synopsis The Use of Force in UN Peace Operations by : Trevor Findlay
Download or read book The Use of Force in UN Peace Operations written by Trevor Findlay and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2002 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most vexing issues that has faced the international community since the end of the Cold War has been the use of force by the United Nations peacekeeping forces. UN intervention in civil wars, as in Somalia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Rwanda, has thrown into stark relief the difficulty of peacekeepers operating in situations where consent to their presence and activities is fragile or incomplete and where there is little peace to keep. Complex questions arise in these circumstances. When and how should peacekeepers use force to protect themselves, to protect their mission, or, most troublingly, to ensure compliance by recalcitrant parties with peace accords? Is a peace enforcement role for peacekeepers possible or is this simply war by another name? Is there a grey zone between peacekeeping and peace enforcement? Trevor Findlay reveals the history of the use of force by UN peacekeepers from Sinai in the 1950s to Haiti in the 1990s. He untangles the arguments about the use of force in peace operations and sets these within the broader context of military doctrine and practice. Drawing on these insights the author examines proposals for future conduct of UN operations, including the formulation of UN peacekeeping doctrine and the establishment of a UN rapid reaction force.
Book Synopsis Evaluating Peace Operations by : Paul Francis Diehl
Download or read book Evaluating Peace Operations written by Paul Francis Diehl and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a great deal written on why peace operations succeed or fail. . . . But how are those judgments reached? By what criteria is success defined? Success for whom? Paul Diehl and Daniel Druckman explore the complexities of evaluating peace operation outcomes, providing an original, detailed framework for assessment. The authors address both the theoretical and the policy-relevant aspects of evaluation as they cover the full gamut of mission goals from conflict mitigation, containment, and settlement to the promotion of democracy and human rights. Numerous examples from specific peace operations illustrate their discussion. A seminal contribution, their work is a foundation not only for the meaningful assessment of peace operations, but also for approaches that can increase the likelihood of successful outcomes.
Book Synopsis Assessing the Success of UN Peacekeeping Operations in the Middle East by : Reuben Francis
Download or read book Assessing the Success of UN Peacekeeping Operations in the Middle East written by Reuben Francis and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the case studies of the ten UN peacekeeping initiatives that have operated in the Middle East so as to consider how successful the United Nations has been in the region at its stated goal of maintaining peace and security. A comparative case study method is employed because an in-depth examination over a long period of time can help us understand how the specific context of an operation can influence its potential for success. Proposal put forth by prominent scholars were analyzed to help define the criteria used to determine an operation's level of success. Specifically, the operation's ability to complete its stated mandate, to promote a resolution to the conflict, to limit the number of casualties, and to contain the conflict within the confines of its initial belligerents were all given due consideration. Analyzing the Middle Eastern conflicts in regard to their capacity to satisfy the predetermined parameters of success revealed that two operations were successful, four of them were moderately successful, and that four of them were failures. This analysis also revealed factors that seem to contribute towards an operation's level of success such as the existence of a reliable pre-deployment ceasefire agreement or the cooperation of a unified Security Council. In spite of these areas for improvement, the fact that 60% of Middle Eastern conflicts in which the UN got involved lead to an improvement of the overall situation suggests that the continued presence of the peacekeepers is nonetheless justified.
Book Synopsis United Nations Peacekeeping by : Christopher R. Wellwood
Download or read book United Nations Peacekeeping written by Christopher R. Wellwood and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The level of success of the twenty United Nations peacekeeping operations conducted since the end of World War II has varied considerably. Some missions were successful, while others were failures, and yet others have perhaps become part of the problem. The author uses three case studies to determine the optimum climate for a successful peacekeeping operation: the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon and the United Nations Emergency Force II. While these operations were all conducted within a few hundred kilometers of each other, the effectiveness of each was strikingly different. The lessons learned from them apply to peacekeeping operations now under consideration in New York and to operations that will be planned in the future. The author identifies four critical factors in the formula for success: the agreement and cooperation of the belligerence, the drafting of the mandate, freedom of movement and the financial arrangements.
Download or read book Fixing Haiti written by Jorge Heine and published by United Nations University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haiti may well be the only country in the Americas with a last name. References to the land of the "black Jacobins" are almost always followed by the phrase "the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere". To that dubious distinction, on 12 January 2010 Haiti added another, when it was hit by the most devastating natural disaster in the Americas, a 7.0 Richter scale earthquake. More than 220,000 people lost their lives and much of its vibrant capital, Port-au-Prince, was reduced to rubble. Since 2004, the United Nations has been in Haiti through MINUSTAH, in an ambitious attempt to help Haiti raise itself by its bootstraps. This effort has now acquired additional urgency. Is Haiti a failed state? Does it deserve a Marshall-plan-like program? What will it take to address the Haitian predicament? In this book, some of the world's leading experts on Haiti examine the challenges faced by the first black republic, the tasks undertaken by the UN, and the new role of hemispheric players like Argentina, Brazil and Chile, as well as that of Canada, France and the United States.
Book Synopsis Un Peacekeeping in Africa by : Adekeye Adebajo
Download or read book Un Peacekeeping in Africa written by Adekeye Adebajo and published by Jacana Media. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is about the games that Great Powers play. Nearly half of all UN peacekeeping missions in the post-Cold War era have been in Africa, and the continent currently hosts the greatest number (and also the largest) of such missions in the world. Uniquely assessing five decades of UN peacekeeping in Africa, Adekeye Adebajo focuses on a series of questions: What accounts for the resurgence of UN peacekeeping efforts in Africa after the Cold War? What are the factors that have determined the success, or contributed to the failure, of the missions? Does the mandating of so many peacekeeping missions signify the failure of Africa's regional security organizations? And, crucially, how can a new division of labour be established between the UN and Africa's security organisations to more effectively manage conflicts on the continent? Adebajo's historically informed approach provides an in-depth analysis of the key domestic, regional, and external factors that shaped the outcomes of fifteen UN missions, offering critical lessons for future peacekeeping efforts in Africa and beyond." --
