Publisher description
Peace-Maintenance explores the controversial concept that has evolved from
diplomatic peacekeeping and military peace-enforcement. Jarat Chopra, the
architect of peace-maintenance, outlines the limitations of traditional
peacekeeping principles reliant on the increasingly questionable consent of
belligerents. He traces the evolution of the political, administrative, legal
and judicial ingredients of international authority. He draws on his extensive
experience of peace operations with the United Nations, using many examples to
illustrate the context and evolution of peace-maintenance, including in-depth
studies of Somalia and Western Sahara. This book is invaluable in identifying
the necessary ingredients for long term, legitimate and effective
peace-maintenance at a time when it is needed most. Chopra's study explores a
course of action that is logically indicated by the long evolution of
peacekeeping in the twentieth century and, importantly, he argues that we can
no longer fail to respond to violent crises because we do not know how to. This book is invaluable in identifying the necessary ingredients for long
term, legitimate and effective peace-maintenance at a time when it is needed
most.
