Situational difficulty before the start of the UN peacekeeping operation. 330 $aCivil wars pose some of the most difficult problems in the world today and the United Nations is the organization generally called upon to bring and sustain peace. Lise Morje? Howard studies the sources of success and failure in UN peacekeeping. Her in-depth 2007 analysis of some of the most complex UN peacekeeping missions debunks the conventional wisdom that they habitually fail, showing that the UN record actually includes a number of important, though understudied, success stories. Using systematic comparative analysis, Howard argues that UN peacekeeping succeeds when field missions establish significant autonomy from UN headquarters, allowing civilian and military staff to adjust to the post-civil war environment. In contrast, failure frequently results from operational directives originating in UN headquarters, often devised in relation to higher-level political disputes with little relevance to the civil war in question. Howard recommends future reforms be oriented toward devolving decision-making power to the field missions. 606 $aIntervention (International law) 606 $aCivil war$xProtection of civilians 606 $aCivil War 615 0$aIntervention (International law) 615 0$aCivil war$xProtection of civilians. 615 0$aCivil War. 676 $a327.172 700 $aHoward$b Lise Morje?$0604099 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458195503321 996 $aUN Peacekeeping in Civil Wars$91012563 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02902nam 2200721 a 450 001 9910777305403321 005 20161219111346.0 010 $a1-4462-2571-2 010 $a1-4462-1728-0 010 $a1-281-24016-8 010 $a9786611240165 010 $a1-84787-652-8 035 $a(CKB)1000000000413774 035 $a(EBL)334356 035 $a(OCoLC)476141447 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000293096 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11247637 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000293096 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10286560 035 $a(PQKB)10611607 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC334356 035 $a(OCoLC)654641948 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000064249 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL334356 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10218295 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL124016 035 $a(OCoLC)1257035944 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB142192 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000413774 100 $a20120327d2002 fy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCritique of information$b[electronic resource] /$fScott Lash 210 $aLondon $cSAGE$dc2002 215 $a1 online resource (xii, 234 p.) 225 1 $aTheory, culture & society 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-7619-5268-3 311 $a0-7619-5269-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Contents; Introduction; 1: Informationcritique; 2: Technological Forms of Life; 3: Live Zones, Dead Zones: Towards a Global Information Culture; 4: Disorganizations; 5: Unruly Objects: The Consequences of Reflexivity; 6: Media Theory; 7: Critique and Sociality: Revisiting the Theory of the Sign; 8: Tradition and the Limits of Difference; 9: Critique of Representation: Henri Lefebvre's Spatial Materialism; 10: Being After Time; 11: The Disinformed Information Society; 12: Technological Phenomenology; 13: Non-Linear Power: McLuhan and Haraway 327 $a14: Conclusions: Communication, Code and The Crisis of ReproductionBibliography; Index 330 8 $aScott Lash believes that any critique of information in contemporary society must take place from within information flows rather than from the safety of academic detachment. 410 0$aTheory, culture & society (Unnumbered) 606 $aInformation society 606 $aInformation technology$xSocial aspects 606 $aPower (Social sciences) 606 $aCommunication criticism 615 0$aInformation society. 615 0$aInformation technology$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aCommunication criticism. 676 $a303.4833 700 $aLash$b Scott$0143986 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777305403321 996 $aCritique of information$93700021 997 $aUNINA
