Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations have been repeatedly employed by the international community to respond to crises and stabilize conflict zones. At the same time, both the concept and conduct of peacekeeping has undergone a fundamental transformation. This evolution is still underway. In order to improve the international response to future crises, it is important to debate the lessons learned. This book looks to do just that by presenting different points of view and focusing on the following questions: How has the new conflict environment changed the character of peace support operations? What lessons can be drawn as far as international cooperation is concerned? And how should the various actors cooperate in order to meet these new challenges. Contributions by renowned international experts analyze key changes in peace support from both the academic and practitioner's perspective.
