Routledge - The Savage Wars Of Peace: Peace Operations Book

The Savage Wars Of Peace: Toward A New Paradigm Of Peace Operations by Routledge provides a deep look into the changing nature of global stability. This work builds upon the concepts first introduced in Uncomfortable Wars, edited by Max Manwaring, to offer a fresh perspective on how peace operations function in the modern era. By combining social science theory regarding conflict and resolution with practical military doctrine, this book bridges the gap between academic study and field application. It uses nine detailed case studies to examine the full spectrum of engagement, from traditional peacekeeping missions to more intense peace enforcement operations. Readers benefit from a diverse range of perspectives. The contributing authors bring together high-level academic insight and real-world practical experience. Because the author group includes three Canadian peacekeepers, the text moves beyond a strictly American viewpoint to provide a broader international outlook on conflict management and peace operations.
