Countries at the Crossroads
is an annual survey of government performance in 60 strategically
important countries worldwide that are at a critical crossroads in
determining their political future. The in-depth comparative
analyses and quantitative ratings – examining government
accountability, civil liberties, rule of law, anticorruption efforts
and transparency – are intended to help international policymakers
identify areas of progress, as well as to highlight areas of concern
that could be addressed in diplomatic efforts and reform assistance.

The OECD
DAC Handbook on SSR: Supporting Security and Justice provides
guidance to operationalise the 2005 DAC Guidelines on Security
System Reform and Governance and closes the gap between policy and
practice. It largely follows the external assistance programme cycle and
contains valuable tools to help encourage a dialogue on security and
justice issues and to support an SSR process through the assessment,
design and implementation phases. It also provides new guidance on
monitoring, review and evaluation of SSR programmes, and highlights how
to ensure greater coherence across the different actors and departments
engaged in SSR.
The Fragile States Group
is a unique forum that brings together experts on governance, conflict
prevention and reconstruction from bilateral and multilateral
development co-operation agencies to facilitate co-ordination and share
good practice to enhance development effectiveness in ‘fragile states’.
Principles for Good International Engagement in Fragile States
Development Ministers and Heads of Agencies
endorsed the Principles for Good International Engagement in Fragile
States at the High Level Meeting of the Development Assistance
Committee (DAC) on 3-4 April 2007 in Paris. This endorsement signals
a commitment to adapt our approach, policies and business practices
to improve our engagement in fragile states. The DAC Fragile States
Group will support implementation of the Principles, already piloted
in nine countries, in all fragile states and at donors'
headquarters.

Aspects of Peacekeeping.
D. S. Gordon.
Portland, OR: Frank Cass, 2001. 286p.
Explores contemporary peace-support operations and examines many of the
principal challenges that now confront those charged with bringing peace to
war-torn societies. Looks at the evolving nature of military, UN and
humanitarian non-governmental organization's intervention in these complex
conflicts. Explores how these organizations relate to one another and how a
division of labor is determined.

Assessing Requirements for Peacekeeping,
Humanitarian Assistance, and Disaster Relief.
Bruce Pirnie.
Santa Monica, CA: Rand, 1998. 143p.
Assesses the requirements for peace operations, humanitarian assistance, and
disaster relief, then develops options for conducting such contingencies more
effectively without detracting from the nation's capability to conduct major
theater warfare. Focus is on those military units required to accomplish these
types of operations, particularly those Army units central to protracted land
operations and those Air Force units required to secure no-fly zones and conduct
strikes.

Beyond Declaring Victory and Coming Home: the Challenges of Peace and Stability
Operations.
Max G. Manwaring.
Westport, CO: Praeger, 2000. 264p.
The political practice of "declaring victory and coming home" has provided a
false and dangerous impression of success for U.S. interventions in failing and
failed states around the world. The reality is that the root causes and the
violent consequences of contemporary intranational conflict are left to smolder
and reignite at a later date with the accompanying human and physical waste. The
international community must realize that such action requires a long-term,
strategic approach.

Blue Helmets: the Strategy
of UN Military Operations.
John Hillen.
Washington [D.C.] : Brassey's, c1998. 312p.
Blue Helmets is the first book to address the UN's performance over the
past fifty years as an employer of military force and to examine the
organizations ability to handle complex military operations.
Includes analyses of the debacles in Somalia and the former
Yugoslavia. With UN operations now costing billions of dollars each
year and involving tens of thousands of troops in dangerous
operations, many observers have questioned what the appropriate role
of the UN should be.

China's Rise, Taiwan's
Dilemmas and International Peace.
Edward Friedman.
London ; New York : Routledge, 2006. 252p.
What is at stake in the triangular relation between China,
Taiwan and the United States is nothing less than war and peace in the
twenty-first century. If the stereotypes and misconceptions emanating from
the media are to be believed, then a war between China and Taiwan is
inevitable. This book examines the issue while bringing the Taiwanese views
on identity politics to the forefront of the discussion. The book focuses on
China's authoritarian rise and explains how this has created painful
dilemmas for a separate and democratic Taiwan while also suggesting
different paths that could yet defeat the looming forces of war and
contribute to maintaining the peace. DS799.63 .C6C447 2005
Civil-Military Relations
and Peacekeeping.
Michael C. Williams.
Oxford; New York: Oxford University Press for the
International Institute for Strategic Studies, 1998. 93p.
The rapid expansion of peacekeeping after the end of the Cold War has
thrust the military into an unfamiliar world in which it has to develop a close
relationship with civilians at all levels - strategic, tactical and operational.
Operations in Cambodia, Haiti, Somalia and the former Yugoslavia, whether under
UN or NATO auspices, have revealed the difficulties inherent in civil-military
co-operation. This text makes recommendations for developing a more effective
civil-military relationship.

Civil Wars and Foreign Powers: Outside Intervention in Intrastate Conflict.
Patrick M. Regan.
Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, c2000.
172p. Author systematically answers the question about the conditions under
which third parties intervene in civil conflicts to stop the fighting. Uses data
on all civil conflicts since 1945 to identify those conflicts that are amenable
to outside interventions and the types of interventions that are more likely to
be successful.

Civil Wars, Civil Peace : an Introduction
to Conflict Resolution.
Kumar Rupesinghe.
London ; Sterling, Va. : Pluto Press, 1998.
179 p. Offers a radical new approach to conflict
prevention, resolution and diplomacy. Designed for undergraduate students as
well as for practitioners and peace negotiators, the book provides an
overview of conflict in the post-Cold War world, covering key topics such as
identifying and assessing early warnings of conflict, and the need to take
early action; information gathering and analysis; and the need for
preventive diplomacy. In particular, the role of non-governmental
organizations and other third-party mediators in conflict resolution is
considered.

Engineering Peace: The Military Role in Postconflict Reconstruction.
Garland H. Williams.
Washington, D.C.:
United States Institute of Peace Press,
2005.
317p.
The author analyzes the postconflict reconstruction gap in three case studies -
Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan - and shows how military engineering brigades
accompanying peacekeeping contingents can be put to use immediately after the
conflict ends to restore vital infrastructure and social institutions. The
author proposes changes in U.S. national security decision making to integrate
military engineering brigades into postconflict reconstruction, thus making U.S.
military officials less wary of "mission creep" and nation-building.

From Civil Strife to Civil Society : Civil and Military Responsibilities in
Disrupted States.
William Maley. New York: United Nations University Press, c2003. 369p.
This book provides a rigorous examination of the dimensions of state
disruption and analyzes the role of the international community in responding to
it. It also covers key related issues such as military doctrines for dealing
with disorder and humanitarian emergencies, mechanisms for ending violence and
delivering justice in post-conflict times, problems of rebuilding trust and
promoting democracy, and reestablishment of social and civil order.
Based on a two-year study, this volume includes 20 case studies of UN
peacekeeping from 1947 to 1991. Besides providing a chronological overview of
peacekeeping during and after the Cold War, the authors also present a lucid,
analytic explanation of what peacekeeping is, what it does, and where it fits
into the larger array of tools for conflict management.

From Congo to Kosovo : Civilian Police in Peace Operations.
Annika S. Hansen.
New York: Oxford University Press for the International Institute
for Strategic Studies, 2002. 118p. Examines the role of civilian police in peace operations. This role has
expanded greatly since the early 1990s and has culminated in international
policemen assuming responsibility for law and order in Kosovo and East Timor.
Looks at the way civilian police play a critical role in reforming local police
forces and at times enforcing the law themselves.

Chandra Lekha Sriram.
Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2003. 429p.
How can the UN, regional and subregional organizations, and other
policymakers best apply the tools of conflict prevention to the wide range of
intrastate conflict situations actually found in the field? The detailed case
studies and analytical chapters
offer operational lessons for fashioning strategy and tactics to meet the
challenges of specific conflicts, both potential and actual.
JZ6368 .F76 2003
A Future for Peacekeeping?
Edward Moxon-Browne.
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1998. 214p.
Challenges the assumption that peacekeeping as we've known
it in the past will be the "pill for every ill" in the future. A "new world
order" means new types of conflict breaking out in a world that is more volatile
and less predictable than before. Author argues that there are sobering lessons
to be learned from Somalia, Lebanon and Cambodia. Can peacekeeping be "reformed"
or must it be totally "reinvented?" Are soldiers the best peacekeepers and, if
not, who should replace them?

Hard Choices : Moral Dilemmas in Humanitarian Intervention.
Jonathan Moore.
Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, c1998. 322p.
Since Somalia, the international community has changed its view of humanitarian
intervention. This volume brings together insights into the conflicting moral
pressures present in different kinds of interventions ranging from Rwanda and
Somalia to Haiti, Cambodia, and Bosnia. The authors make the case that moral
reflection can improve the quality of decision making and intervention in
internal conflicts, especially those that involve sanctions, refugees, human
rights, and arms.

Kevin Avruch.

p.
Asks whether the notion of struggles for control over
information identifiable in situations of conflict also has relevance for
situations of third-party conflict management for peace operations.

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. Should sovereignty be respected under all
conditions, or are there instances in which interference in a state's
internal affairs becomes not only a right, but a duty?
The sovereignty versus responsibility dilemma lies at the core of the
emerging international order, and may become even more central in the
future.
JZ6369 .I58 2002
International Peacekeeping.

Enforcement of law is a tenet that is central to international peace and
security, the rule of law, and democratic governance. This text is a modest
effort intended to spark the debate of how international law is evolving to
better protect those who serve the international community in uniform and all
the peoples of the world.

W. Pal Singh
Sidhu, et al. Boulder, London: Lynne Rienner,
2006.
292p.
Old assumptions are being challenged about whether the rivalry between India
and Pakistan is truly ingrained in each country's identity and whether
notions of sovereignty can be modified to create space for forging peace in
Jammu & Kashmir. This volume is a product of an International Peace Academy
(IPA) project that sought to build the capacity of new voices, identify ways
to move the agenda forward, and critically examine the role, if any, of
international actors.

Michael W. Doyle.
New York: Cambridge University Press, 1997. 428 p.
Explores the new multidimensional role that the UN has
played in peacemaking, peacekeeping and peace-building over the past few years.
By examining the paradigm-setting cases of Cambodia and El Salvador, and drawing
lessons from these UN "success stories," the book identifies more effective ways
for the international community to address conflict in the post-Cold War era.

Walter S. Clarke.
Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1997. 276p.
Analyzes the U.S.-led 1992 "peacemaking" intervention
in Somalia. Draws lessons for future peacekeeping operations: the difficult
aspects of peacemaking, such as efforts to rebuild the police, the dynamics of

This book examines the place of human rights in peace
agreements against the backdrop of international legal provision. The
introductory analysis draws on a review of many peace agreements, while the
body of the book focuses on the peace agreements in four cases: South
Africa, Israel/Palestine, Northern Ireland, and Bosnia. It addresses the
phenomenon of the post-cold war peace process, the types of agreements that
are typically produced, and the typical role of human rights in those
agreements.

preventive strategies that third parties can employ to reduce tensions.
Finally, it takes on what is perhaps the most challenging task: finding ways
to make peacekeeping operations more likely to succeed.

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 Peacemaking : Towards Effective Intervention in Post-Cold War
Conflicts.
Tom Woodhouse.
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1998. 297p.
This book is the result of a meeting of scholars and
specialists to discuss the challenges faced by the UN in its efforts to
intervene in post cold war conflict. A timely and important analysis of the UN
which now must deal with acts of genocide, gross violations of human rights and
the widespread suffering caused by war.
KZ5538 .P427 1998
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.

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.

Refers to a situation in which the Member States of the UN Security Council,
which have "responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and

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.

of Fortune?

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 Psychology of Peacekeeping.
Harvey J. Langholtz.
Westport, CO: Praeger, 1998. 261p.
Examines how psychology and other social sciences can offer both
theoretical explanations and practical applications in the resolution and
amelioration of potentially violent international conflicts. Examines
psychological considerations and interventions during three phases of conflicts:
preventive measures taken before a dispute escalates into war; psychological
considerations once fighting starts; and psychological aspects of a return to a
lasting peace.
