DESCRIPTION
Though historically the term peacekeeping has essentially been shorthand for UN peacekeeping, recent years have seen a proliferation of actors and initiatives in a shift to global peacekeeping cooperation. Hikaru Yamashita explores the motivations behind this development, what forms it is taking, and what it means for the international community. His comprehensive account of peacekeeping cooperation offers both an original theoretical framework and rich case studies drawn from Afghanistan, Congo, Macedonia, and Sudan.
