The Book
Successes and Failures of Global Peacekeeping Operations: Lessons from the Field

GIRES, the Global Institute for Research, Education and Scholarship dedicated to the support of academic pluralism, has the immense pleasure to welcome the insightful collective work from an exceptional team of international scholars. The purpose of this book is to share field-based insights and lessons among scholars, practitioners, and researchers, on the successes and failures of global peacekeeping operations. Increasingly, international development researchers are tasked with incorporating new research methodologies that tackle poverty, inequality, and complex emergencies in globalized settings. This book will include source materials critically assessing humanitarian interventions in the Global South.
