Preventing War
This unique first-hand study provides the definitive account of the United Nations' first, and so far only, preventive peacekeeping operation. Illuminating the limits and possibilities of preventive diplomacy, Abiodun Williams traces the course of UN peacekeeping in Macedonia-the vital link in the stability of the southern Balkans-from 1992 to 1999. As he shows, the Macedonia case has important lessons for using preventive action to forestall other threats to international peace and security.
