Reviews

This volume shows that there is a distinctly Francophone approach to peacemaking which is in refreshing contrast to the overwhelmingly 'Anglo-Saxon' predominance of the literature in the field. It is to be hoped that this volume will have a prominent place on all reading lists about international organizations. - Andrew Williams, Professor of International Relations, University of St Andrews, UK Realists, in their attempted domination of the interpretation of international politics, tend to downplay the role of international institutions (or the existence of international peace, for that matter).

William Zartman, Jacob Blaustein Distinguished Professor Emeritus of International Organization and Conflict Resolution, The Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), The Johns Hopkins University A conceptually sophisticated and empirically rich study of the role of international institutions in keeping and promoting the peace. The authors analyze key topic areas, including weapons of mass destruction, their proliferation and mediation and apply them to diverse regions. - Richard Ned Lebow, James O.
