He investigates the move towards peace enforcement and counter-terrorism, and what consequences this development may have for the UN. Karlsrud issues a challenge to practitioners and politicians to make sure that the calls for reform are anchored in a desire to improve the lives of people suffering in conflicts on the ground?and not spurred by intra-organizational turf battles or solely the narrow self-interests of member states. Finally, he asks how the UN can adapt its practices to become more field- and people-centered, in line with its core, primary commitments of protecting and serving people in need. ?An excellent resource for researchers, policy-makers, practitioners and students, this work provides a very useful analysis on the past, present and future of peace missions, as well as how they have and could face the challenges of today?s world.? ?Séverine Autesserre, Associate Professor, Barnard College,Columbia University, USA ?The international community and the new Secretary-General will have a chance to initiate meaningful, transformative reforms in the way the United Nations addresses social, political and security challenges; the road map is provided by John Karlsrud, highly recommended to all international peace and security academics and practitioners.? ?José Ramos-Horta, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former President and Prime Minister of Timor Leste ?This is the most current, up-to-date assessment of UN Peace Operations available. A must-read for both analysts and practitioners of peacekeeping.? ?Lise Morjé Howard, Georgetown University, USA  . 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPeace 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aPopular Science in Political Science and International Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q41000 606 $aPeace Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912070 606 $aConflict Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060 606 $aInternational Security Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912120 606 $aDevelopment Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 14$aPopular Science in Political Science and International Relations. 615 24$aPeace Studies. 615 24$aConflict Studies. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 676 $a341.23 700 $aKarlsrud$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0881014 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300514603321 996 $aThe UN at War$92057040 997 $aUNINA
