Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution explores the intertwined development of peacekeeping and conflict resolution as concepts and practices. Tracing their origins to the 1950s, the book examines how the Hammarskjold Principles and the founding of the "Journal of Conflict Resolution" formalised these fields. The authors focus particularly on the 1990s, when conflict resolution theorists integrated conflict theory perspectives to enhance the effectiveness of United Nations peacekeeping missions amid numerous civil wars.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Conflict resolution and peacekeeping are not only closely related conceptually, they were also "inventions" of the same historical period. Peacekeeping was first defined under the Hammarskjold Principles of 1956, while we can date the formal institutionalisation of conflict resolution to the founding of the Journal of Conflict Resolution in 1957.

However, it is in the 1990s that conflict resolution theorists turned to the perspectives of conflict theory in an effort to develop more effective practices of peacekeeping. This book is about the ways in which conflict resolution theory has become relevant to the various challenges faced by the United Nations peacekeeping forces as efforts are made to learn from the traumatic and devastating impact of the many civil wars that have erupted in the 1990s.
