Publisher's Synopsis
Unique in its breadth and depth of coverage, the ""Annual Review of Global Peace Operations"" presents the most detailed collection of data on peace operations - those launched by the UN, by regional organizations, by coalitions, and by individual nations - that is available. Features of the 2007 volume include: an introductory essay on the priorities and processes crucial to consolidating peace in postconflict environments; incisive analyses of all peacekeeping missions on the ground in 2006; in-depth explorations of key missions and trends, focusing on those operations that have faced significant challenges or undergone major developments during the year; and, extensive illustrative graphs, charts, tables, and photographs. The editorially independent Review is a project of the Center on International Cooperation at New York University, with the support of the Peacekeeping Best Practices Section of the UN's Department of Peacekeeping Operations and in cooperation with the International Peace Academy.
