Description: Building International Community: Cooperating for Peace Case Studies is a series of authoritative case studies outlining how the international community, through the United Nations, has endeavoured to respond to a variety of internal and external conflicts that have challenged international peace and security.

Originating from the same research project that led to Gareth Evans' acclaimed Cooperating for Peace, each study in this volume makes an important, and different, contribution towards understanding past catastrophes and crises.

The world community can learn from Building International Community in order to develop better international processes to deal with conflict and with humanitarian emergencies. Each one of the case studies underlines the central importance of establishing the economic, social and political bases for stable peaceful relationships, and the need for greater use of preventive diplomacy to deal with impending problems at an early stage while parties are still flexible and disputes still tractable.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
Studies prepared as an input to the preparation of Senator Evan's book, Cooperating for peace: the global agenda for the 1990s and beyond.
