Friends Indeed?: The United Nations, Groups of Friends, and the Resolution of Conflict,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Addressing an increasingly important and greatly understudied phenomenon in international affairs, this groundbreaking volume analyzes the formation, actions, and efficacy of groups of states created to support UN peacemaking and peace operations. While these groups Friends of the SecretaryGeneral and related mechanisms may represent just one small component of the United Nations increased involvement in conflict management, they have fast become a critical element in today's system of globalsecurity governance. Bringing to the study a rare combination of both a scholarly eye and an insider's perspective of the United Nations, Teresa Whitfield provides an overview of the types of groups and coalitions that have been actively engaged in issues of peace and security within the UN sphere and identifies five core factors for their success. She also offers case studies of El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Georgia, Western Sahara, and East Timor, illustrating in a comparative manner the utility and limitations of groups of Friends under widely different conditions. She ultimately arrives at conclusions and presents recommendations that will no doubt prove vital to policymakers when deciding whether to form a group of Friends or another more informal coalition. Indeed, the study provides compelling evidence for the impact both positive and negative that external political intervention can have on peace processes. An original, important, and timely study, Friends Indeed? adds substantially to the literature on international conflict resolution and the role of international organizations in resolving crisis. Perhaps more significant, it greatly furthers understanding of how and in what circumstances the United Nations secretarygeneral and secretariat can work productively with groups of states in the resolution of conflict.
