Más información sobre el libro

The book critically examines the effectiveness of UN military interventions in the post-Cold War era, highlighting notable failures in places like Rwanda, Somalia, and Bosnia. It assesses the UN's leadership capabilities in planning and executing these missions compared to international coalitions. The analysis concludes that the UN's success rate is comparable to that of coalitions, with two critical factors influencing outcomes: the political will of the international community and, more significantly, the regional adversaries' interest in sustainable peace.
