Les opérations de maintien de la paix en Europe
Les opérations de maintien de la paix ont été mises sur pied à l'origine pour faire face à des conflits internationaux apparus après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.

Toward a New Public Diplomacy explains public diplomacy and makes the case for why it will be the crucial element in the much-needed reinvention of American foreign policy.
