It also considers the impact of terrorism on both recent and longstanding peacekeeping operations and assesses the prospects of peacekeeping in an era in which the United States seems to be withdrawing from the world. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 326 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21 May 2019\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this extensively revised edition of his bestselling 1999 volume, \"Why Peacekeeping Fails,\" Dennis Jett delves into the compelling reasons behind the unprecedented high mortality rates of peacekeepers in today's operations, whether they are destined to fail or offer minimal contributions to peace. The original book, which compared a diverse range of peacekeeping experiences, including the unsuccessful attempt in Angola and the successful endeavor in Mozambique in the early 1990s, aimed to advocate for the significance of peacekeeping and propose strategies to enhance its chances of success. Nearly two decades later, the United Nations has expanded its peacekeeping force to reach 100,000 personnel from 15,000, yet despite this significant growth, support for peacekeeping seems to be waning. This extensively revised and updated 20th-anniversary edition, comprising half new material, serves as a timely update to Jett's previous volume, exploring the reasons behind the dramatic expansion of peacekeeping, its current applications, and the challenges peacekeepers face that cannot be addressed solely by their efforts. Additionally, this book takes into account the profound impact of terrorism on both recent and longstanding peacekeeping operations, assessing the prospects of peacekeeping in an era where the United States appears to be withdrawing from the global stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 456g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 149 x 211 x 20 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030114275                            \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2nd ed. 2019                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dennis C.
