Policing the New World Disorder: Peace Operations and Public Security

In the post-Cold War era anarchic conditions within sovereign states have repeatedly posed serious & intractable challenges to the international order. Nations have been called upon to conduct peace operations in response to dysfunctional or disintegrating states (such as Somalia, Haiti, & the former Yugoslavia). Among the more vigorous therapies for this kind of disorder is revitalizing local public security institutions —the police, judiciary, & penal system. This volume presents insights into the process of restoring public security gleaned from a wide range of practitioners & academic specialists.
