United Nations Interventionism, 1991–2004 (LSE Monographs in International Studies)

After years of paralysis, the 1990s saw an explosion in the number of United Nations field operations around the world. In terms of scope and level of ambition, these interventions went beyond the tried and tested principles of classical UN peacekeeping. Indeed, in some cases - such as Cambodia, Kosovo and East Timor - the UN presence assumed the form of quasi-protectorates designed to steer war-torn and deeply divided societies towards lasting peace. This book examines the UN's performance and assesses the wider impact of 'new interventionism' on international order and the study of international relations. Featuring eight case studies of major UN interventions and an introductory chapter outlining the most important theoretical and political features of the international system which have led to the increased interventionary practices of the UN, this book will appeal to students and researchers in international relations and international organizations.

Economics

Lynne Rienner Pub

Windsor (1935-2000) retired from over 30 years at the London School of Economics in 1997. In his final book, he introduces some of the principle features of strategic thought during the Cold War, for students of international relations and general readers. He thinks it is time to examine and question the validity of a complex of thinking that he, along with many others, took entirely for granted for a long time. Berdal and Economides are with the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Economics no longer forms the backdrop to world events but rather appears to drive foreign policy and represents a more powerful resource than military strength. If globalization is irreversible, then conquering markets is much more important than conquering territory. These are the claims made about economics in world affairs, both by policy analysts and by armchair philosophers. This book examines these claims critically shows how political agendas and speculation have formed many of our current assumptions about the workings of economics in the world today.
