Intelligence in Peacekeeping.
A. Walter Dorn and David A. Charters. The Pearson Papers, Paper No. 4. Clementsport, N.S.: Canadian Peacekeeping Press, 1999. 70p.
Dorn looks at the United Nations' view of "intelligence," its reluctance to utilize that exact terminology, and how intelligence is an essential part of UN peacekeeping. Charters' central argument is that post-Cold War conflicts have changed dramatically the character of peacekeeping operations, and that the change will now require peacekeepers to apply the full range of intelligence capabilities in order to bring such conflicts under control.

International Intervention : Sovereignty Versus Responsibility.
Michael Keren. Portland, OR: F. Cass, 2002. 191p.
National sovereignty is a cherished norm yet it raises great legal, political and ethical dilemmas.

Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution.
Tom Woodhouse.  Portland, OR: F. Cass, 2000. 269p.
Conflict resolution and peacekeeping are not only closely related conceptually, they were also "inventions" of the 1950s. However, it is in the 1990s that conflict theory is being used to develop more effective practices of peacekeeping. This book shows how conflict resolution theory has become relevant to UN peacekeeping as efforts are made to learn from the traumatic and devastating impact of the many civil wars that have erupted in the 1990s.

Peacekeeping and Public Information : Caught in the Crossfire.
Ingrid A. Lehmann. Portland, OR: F. Cass, 1999. 175p.
Calls for a major shift in how public information is handled. Case studies of five peacekeeping operations - Namibia, Cambodia, Rwanda, Haiti and Eastern Slavonia are included.  The ad-hoc conduct of the public affairs of the mission leaves too much to chance, and may lead to a fragmented and often contradictory execution at too low a level. This reflects on how the operation will be perceived, and eventually how peacekeeping operations in general may be judged.

Peacekeeping and the Coming Anarchy.
Alex Morrison. [Clementsport, N.S.]: Canadian Peacekeeping Press, c1996. 72p.
This paper resulted from a conference where the subject for discussion was the future of peacekeeping and conflict.

Peacekeeping and the Role of Russia in Eurasia.
Lena Jonson. Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1996. 229p. Given the history of Soviet Russian repression of ethic-national entities, can Russia - the USSR's primary heir - be relied on to resolve rather than inflame conflicts in the other post-Soviet states and regions. Is Russian "peacekeeping" legitimate according to international norms or is it a harbinger of "neo-imperialism"?

Peacekeeping and the UN Agencies.
Jim Whitman.  Portland, OR: F. Cass, 1999. 143p.
This book assesses the role of the UN specialized Agencies in peacekeeping operations. Special emphasis is given to that most vexed category, 'complex emergencies', involving entrapped or victimized civilian populations and a plethora of UN, national military and NGO actors. The contributions to this volume are forward-looking and policy-oriented, bringing a hard-edged practicality to complex and hitherto under-examined issues.
HV544.5 .P43 1999

Peacekeeping by Proxy.
Alex Morrison. Clementsport, N.S.: Canadian Peacekeeping Press, 1999. 69p.
Refers to a situation in which the Member States of the UN Security Council, which have "responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security," decide, for some reason, that they cannot establish a needed peacekeeping mission. In that case, the Council gives its proxy to an individual country, a group of countries or and organization. The acceptor of the proxy organizes and carries out the operation.

Peacekeeping in East Timor : the Path to Independence.
Michael G. Smith. Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2003. 214p.
The UN intervention in East Timor illustrates the type of complex operation that the UN is increasingly being asked to undertake. This is an account of a UN mission in the unfamiliar role of interim government. Evaluating the lessons learned from the experience, the author highlights the urgent need for reforms within the UN. The absence of those reforms, he believes, will lead to more failed states, more refugees, more poverty, and more dead peacekeepers.

Peacekeeping in the Abyss : British and American Peacekeeping Doctrine and Practice after the Cold War.
Robert M. Cassidy. Westport, CN: Praeger, 2004. 284p.
Military organizations are cultures, and such cultures have ingrained preferences and predilections for how and when to employ force. This is the first study to use a comparative framework to understand what happened with the U.S. military endeavor in Somalia and the British effort in Bosnia up to 1995. Both regions were potential quagmires, and no doctrine for armed humanitarian operations during ongoing conflicts existed at the outset of these efforts. After detailing the impact of military culture on operations, Cassidy draws conclusions about which military cultural traits and force structures are more suitable and adaptable for peace operations and asymmetric conflicts. He also offers some military cultural implications for the U.S. Army's ongoing transformation.

The Politics and Practice of United Nations Peacekeeping : Past, Present and Future.
Indar Jit Rikhye. Clementsport, N.S.: Canadian Peacekeeping Press, c2000. 182p. Aim is not merely to review the conduct of past and present operations but to suggest how future operations might be made more effective. Such a process of evaluation and recommendation is necessary for at least two reasons: to enable UN peacekeepers to learn from past successes and avoid past mistakes; and to make UN peacekeeping more responsive to and reflective of the profound shifts in the international scene since 1945 and especially since the end of the Cold War.

Profiting from Peace : Managing the Resource Dimensions of Civil War.
Karen Ballentine.  Boulder, Colo. : L. Rienner, c2005. 539p.
The Academy's Economic Agendas in Civil Wars Program is coming to an end, with a string of volumes to its name of which this may be the last. Academics and campaigners identify and assess existing and emerging regulatory, legal, and market-based mechanisms that may be applied to more effectively redress the conflict-promoting aspects of economic activity in vulnerable or war-torn areas. The context of the study is that since Great Power patronage ended with the Cold War, civil wars have increasingly become self financing and commercialized. The measures discussed here are curtailing conflict trade and finance, improving corporate responsibility and resource management, and establishing accountability and ending impunity.

The Quest for Viable Peace: International Intervention and Strategies for Conflict Transformation.
Jock Covey, et al. Washington, D.C./Arlington, VA: United States Institute of Peace Press & Association of the U.S. Army, 2005. 302p.
International intervention in failing states that threaten peace and security does not by itself make the world safer. Too often, when intervening forces are unable to change the circumstances that breed violence, the intervention stalls and old animosities reignite. If international intervention is to be effective, its first task must be the attainment of viable peace.

François Debrix. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, c1999. 285p.

Over the last decade, asymmetric warfare and terrorism have become prevalent threats to the United States. National security, today more than at any other time, demands decision-making under uncertainty.

The Use of Force in UN Peace Operations.
Trevor Findlay. Solna, Sweden : SIPRI ; Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2002. 486p.
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 UN 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. 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.

Why Peacekeeping Fails.
Dennis C. Jett. New York: St. Martin's Press, 2000. 236p.
Author assesses UN-sponsored peacekeeping since the Cold War. Vague objectives, inadequate forces and bureaucratic politics undercut the UN's effectiveness.
