Description: Providing Peacekeepers : The Politics, Challenges, and Future of United Nations Peacekeeping Contributions, Hardcover by Bellamy, Alex J. (EDT); Williams, Paul D. (EDT), ISBN 0199672822, ISBN-13 9780199672820, Brand New, Free shipping in the US During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the rising demand for peacekeepers saw the United Nations (UN) operate at a historically unprecedented tempo, with increases in the number and size of missions as well as in the scope and complexity of their mandates. The need to deploy over
120,000 UN peacekeepers and the demands placed upon them in the field have threatened to outstrip the willingness and to some extent capacity of the UNs Member States. This situation raised the questions of why states contribute forces to UN missions and, conversely, what factors inhibit them from
doing more? Providing Peacekeepers answers these questions. After summarizing the challenges confronting the UN in its force generation efforts, th develops a new framework for analyzing UN peacekeeping contributions in light of the evidence presented in sixteen case study chapters which
examine the experiences of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the Peoples Republic of China, the Russian Federation, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Ghana, Nepal, Uruguay, Brazil, Turkey, South Africa, and Japan. Th concludes by offering recommendations for how the UN might
develop new strategies for force generation so as to meet the foreseeable challenges of twenty-first century peacekeeping and improve the quantity and quality of its uniformed peacekeepers.
