Subject(s): Summary: Peace enforcement was one of the founding principles of the United Nations. From the outset it was considered one of the most important differences between the UN and its predecessor the League of Nations. Nevertheless during the Cold War period there were very few UN backed military actions. This book considers why this should be, starting by looking at the theory of peace enforcement, then going on to look at the Kuwait crisis, the role of the USA as the sole remaining superpower, the implications of responding to international terrorism, and the differences between the Cold War and the post Cold War periods.
