| Sumario: | "The Republic of Ireland has won its status as a leading contributor to international peacekeeping operations, which have been its key 'foreign policy' since the 1960s. But why is Ireland so keen to be involved? It cannot simply be for charitable reasons, so is it because it is a neutral state or because it is a middle power? Overall, is Ireland's peacekeeping policy based on realism and liberalism?" "The characteristics of peacekeeping operations have changed significantly, especially since the end of the Cold War - will Ireland be able to maintain its distance from NATO and the EU in terms of peacekeeping operations and can it survive as a traditional peacekeeping contributor, or does it have to change its peacekeeping policy radically? Ireland and International Peacekeeping Operations 1960-2000 attempts to answer all of these questions, drawing on a wide range of resources, from literature and Irish and UN documents to newspapers and interviews."--Jacket |
