Keeping the Peace: New Solutions for Turbulent Times

• Product Code: UGI155

In the past 50 years the task of keeping the peace in the world has become immeasurably more complex, while the spread of nuclear weapons has made it more vital.

As a result, governments and NGO's alike are paying more attention to the cause of conflict: poverty, ethnic and religious divisions, and the legacy of colonialism - artificial frontiers, inadequate legal frameworks for land tenure, the exploitation of natural resources and much more. This magazine looks at some recent developments in peace keeping.

Topics Covered;
- The Many Causes of Conflict
- War and Peace in the Last Century
- Evolving Peace-keeping
- The Rise of Complex Emergencies
- The Geography of Peace-keeping
- Who is in Charge
- From Peace-keeping to Peace-building
- Preventing Conflict
