维和行动为何失败
作者：
Dennis C. Jett
丹尼斯·杰特通过比较安哥拉不成功的维和行动与莫桑比克的成功维和行动以及其他广泛的维和经验，探讨了维和行动失败的原因。该书认为，虽然过去维和行动失败的原因可以查明，但由于此类行动的发起和实施方式以及联合国作为一个组织的运作方式，成功的机会将很难提高。杰特回顾了维持和平的历史以及维持和平特派团的数量、规模、范围和费用的演变。他还解释了为什么维持和平变得更加必要、可能和令人渴望，但同时也变得更加复杂、更加困难和不那么频繁地使用。这本书认真审视了联合国七国集团的行动，并为理解当前冲突提供了有用的信息。
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. The book argues that while the causes of past peacekeeping failures can be identified, the chances for success will be difficult to improve because of the way such operations are initiated and conducted and the way the United Nations operates as an organization. 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. The book takes a hard look at the UN7;s actions and provides useful information for understanding current conflicts.
