UN Peace Operations and Asian Security
UN Peace Operations and Asian Security provides an unparalleled analysis of
the state of the United Nations peace operations and its impact on Asian
security. It examines new strategies being adopted by the UN, including
doctrinal shifts in peace operation, and assesses the division of labour
between the UN, regional organization and non-governmental organizations/
actors.
Based on selected papers from mostly Asian scholars, the book offers regional
perspectives from south, southeast and Northeast Asia on the changing nature
ofUNPeaceoperationsandanalyzessomeofthecoreissuesthatareofcritical
relevance to regional security in Asia. In addition it reveals interesting new
insights on the new players in the area of peace operations i.e. China and
