Examines UN peacekeeping activities from 1956 up to the present and explains how UN involvement in peacekeeping missions has expanded over time to include functions traditionallly thought of as governing functions. Redefines the concept of peacekeeping needs according to the actual capacity of the UN and suggests that future operations must draw a line between peace-keeping, peace-enforcement and post-conflict peace-building.
