Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThese essays, on the whole, are noteworthy for the freshness of their approach. -- Richard Caplan, Jesus College, Oxford University * Survival: The Iiss Quarterly *
The authors are a mixture of big names (Boutros-Boutros Ghali, Kofi Annan, Brian Urquhart), carefully selected to represent continents and the spectrum of opinion from enthusiastic supporters of UN peacekeeping to carefully considered sympathizers of the same. . . . Throughout there is considerable awareness of the limits of the United Nations as an effective institution, even as its role in containing or even suppressing internal war has grown. * Foreign Affairs *
