Peace Operations and Intrastate Conflict

Focusing on United Nations missions in the Congo, Somalia, and the former Yugoslavia, the book proposes a new model for addressing intrastate conflicts. It highlights the necessity of adapting military intervention strategies, emphasizing that resolving civil wars demands a selective use of force, unlike traditional peacekeeping. By advocating for counterinsurgency principles as the foundation for intervention, the author underscores the effectiveness of the British approach to civil strife in peace operations, showcasing both historical and contemporary case studies.
