Zusatztext A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2014 'As peacekeepers engage with peace-building in intensely divided post-conflict environments! they find themselves labouring in the engine room of other societies' political systems. Should peacekeeping become a form of governance! and if it does! what becomes of the original enterprise of peacekeeping? Kate Seaman's book argues that peacekeeping has been degraded and delegitimised by its encounter with global governance. She supports this argument with interviews with prominent policy-makers! a wide ranging review of the literature on peacekeeping and global governance! and case studies. This book makes a critical contribution to the debate about how peacekeeping and global governance should evolve.' Hugh Miall! University of Kent! UK 'Conceptually informed and empirically rich! Seaman skilfully unpacks recent developments in UN peace-keeping through the lens of global governance theory. This incisive work brings together and synthesises the -at times - confounding array of voices surrounding the utility of UN peace-keeping operations and brings an impressive degree of clarity to a frequently opaque discussion. The analysis presented is compelling! at times provocative and always illuminating.' Feargal Cochrane! Conflict Analysis Research Centre! University of Kent!
