Description: Is there a future for peacekeeping? Since the end of the Cold War threats to peace are less easy to predict, and more difficult to confront. 'Bushfire' conflicts involving ethnic minorities, border disputes and human rights, can break out almost anywhere. The contributors to this book reconsider the traditional role of peacekeeping, urging new priorities for training and preparation, and a clear distinction between peacekeeping and peace enforcement. Are soldiers still the best peacekeepers?

And if not, who fills the gap and in what circumstances? At a time when peacekeeping risks becoming the 'pill for every ill', the contributors to this volume, drawn from five different countries, provide a wide range of critical and thought-provoking assessments.
