Review of Political Missions 2011
The Annual Review of Global Peace Operations and the Review of Political Missions have evolved into the Global Peace Operations Review, an interactive web-portal presenting in-depth analysis and detailed data on military peacekeeping operations and civilian-led political missions by the United Nations, regional organizations, and ad-hoc coalitions. The website can be accessed here Global Peace Operations Review
CIC has published the first Review of Political Missions, covering over fifty civilian missions launched by the UN, OSCE, EU, OAS, ECOWAS and other international organizations. This volume is the first to map an important but under-appreciated dimension of multilateral conflict management.
CIC's second Review of Political Missions tracks strategic trends, mission deployments, and deployment data for more than sixty political missions authorized by the UN and regional organizations, including the EU, OSCE, OAS, and the AU. The volume also provides analysis on the extant and potential role of political missions in responding to transnational threats and unconstitutional changes of government.
The full volume is available in the table below and you may also download the full volume here
