"United Nations peace operations, and multilateralism in general, are under severe pressure. That makes this volume extremely timely. This collection of essays is a rich and detailed survey of the challenges facing the UN and an examination of the opportunities offered by technology, partnerships and reform. This work is a valuable horizon-scanning of how the UN can be fit for purpose in the decades to come." (Roger Mac Ginty, Professor in Defence, Development and Diplomacy, Durham University, UK.)

It shines because its wide ranging, thought-provoking contributions showcase the complex nature of contemporary peacekeeping and the multiple operational challenges it must evolve to address." (Dr Katharina P. Coleman, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of British Columbia, Canada.)
