"Identifies four key dimensions of mission composition and how diversity in mission composition became crucial in recent trends of peacekeeping operations." -- Journal of Economic Literature"In general, UN peacekeeping helps reduce violence and limit the likelihood of new wars. But some missions do this better than others. It is essential to understanding why. In this important new book, Vincenzo Bove, Chiara Ruffa, and Andrea Ruggeri show that how a peacekeeping mission is composed matters greatly to how it performs. Combining an eye for fine-grained detail with a rigorous empirical account that draws on experience in the Central African Republic, Lebanon, and Mali, Composing Peace demonstrates that achieving diversity across a mission's senior leadership whilst minimizing the social distance between peacekeepers and the peacekept helps missions reduce violence. Its highly original insights break new ground in the field and identify ways of improving the effectiveness of future peacekeeping." -- Alex Bellamy, Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies at The University of Queensland"United Nations peacekeeping missions are composed of troops and civilians from more than 120 different countries. It is important to understand how peacekeepers work together, because blue helmets are the most numerous type of troop in hot spots around the world today. Thousands of lives are at stake. What effects does troop diversity have on the ability to protect civilians? Does diversity make peacekeeping missions more effective? Bove, Ruffa, and Ruggeri find that, in general, diversity is an asset: different troop contributors complement each other with different strengths, enabling better peacekeeping. They also find, however, that sometimes less distance between Force Commanders and troops, and between troops and local citizens, can bring better outcomes. Composing Peace is a must-read for anyone interested in UN peacekeeping." -- Lise Howard, Associate Professor of Government, Georgetown University"Composing Peace makes a major contribution by considering when diversity of peacekeepers can foster or impede UN peacekeeping efforts. The authors clearly and sharply analyze the role diversity of armed forces in UN efforts, providing important insights into contemporary peacekeeping. By developing a nuanced conception of diversity, the authors demonstrate that certain aspects improve UN missions while other elements of diversity reduce the effectiveness of the mission. Anyone studying peacekeeping or multilateral military efforts needs to read this book." -- Stephen Saideman, Paterson Chair of International Affairs, Carleton University, "In general, UN peacekeeping helps reduce violence and limit the likelihood of new wars.

Synopsis
This book explores diversity in the composition of peace missions (in terms of peacekeepers' nationalities, linguistic, and religious differences deployed) and theorizes about the impact of mission composition on peacekeeping effectiveness., Composing Peace: Mission Composition in UN Peacekeeping is about mission composition in peacekeeping operations and asks how diversity of mission composition influences the ability of a peace mission to keep the peace. This book focuses on four types of mission composition--diversity among peacekeepers, within the mission leadership, between mission leaders and peacekeepers, and between peacekeepers and locals. It is the first book to explore mission composition and its consequences, unpacking a concept hitherto unexplored and empirically combining quantitative and qualitative methods. It makes an important contribution to the fields of peace research, security studies, and international relations at large., Composing Peace: Mission Composition in UN Peacekeeping is about mission in peacekeeping operations and asks how diversity of mission composition influences the ability of a peace mission to keep the peace. This book focuses on four types of mission composition - diversity among peacekeepers, within the mission leadership, between mission leaders and peacekeepers, and between peacekeepers and locals.

- r***g (242)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.
- e***u (283)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive.
