Description: "Dennis Jett examines why peacekeeping operations fail by comparing the unsuccessful attempt at peacekeeping in Angola with the successful effort in Mozambique, alongside a wide range of other peacekeeping experiences. Jett reviews the history of peacekeeping and the evolution in the number, size, scope, and cost of peacekeeping missions.

He also explains why peacekeeping has become more necessary, possible and desired, and yet, at the same time, more complex, more difficult, and less frequently used."--BOOK JACKET.
