It deals with both the UN's changing raison d'être and the wider normative context within which the organisation is located.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe study looks at the UN through the window of one of its most contentious, yet least understood, practices: active involvement in intra-state conflicts as epitomised by UN peacekeeping. Drawing on the conceptual tools provided by the 'historical structural' approach, this study seeks to understand how and why the international community continuously reinterprets or redefines the UN's role with regard to intra-state conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe study concentrates on intra-state 'peacekeeping environments', and examines what changes, if any, have occurred to the normative basis of UN peacekeeping in intra-state conflicts from the early 1960s to the early 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the original aspects of the study is its analytical framework, where the conceptualisation of 'normative basis' revolves around objectives, functions, and authority, and is closely connected with the institutionalised values in the UN Charter such as state sovereignty, human rights, and socio-economic development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe United Nations, Intra-State Peacekeeping and Normative Change\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for postgraduate students of IR and international peacekeeping organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46851570958572,"sku":"9780719067495","price":58.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27889983482443.jpg?v=1759108382"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/esref-aksu.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
