When it was first published in 1993, Keeping the Peace quickly became the definitive legal and political analysis of the powers and practices of the UN in the field of collective security. Fully updated and extensively revised to reflect the changes in the international system since 1993, the new edition includes an expanded discussion of international criminal tribunals, the development of the Security Council's powers and the huge expansion in the number of peace-keeping forces authorized by the UN. N. D. White also includes an extensive discussion of the structure of the UN, so that readers can get a sense of what the UN does and how it does it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent commentary on the work of the UN,
This review is from: Keeping the Peace: The United Nations and the Maintenance of International Peace and Security (Melland Schill Studies in International Law) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent commentary on the work of the UN in the post-Cold War world, focusing on both the legal and political aspects of peacekeeping and intervention. The review of the reactions (or lack thereof) of the Security Council to conflicts is balanced and informative, as it takes the reader step by step through the UN Charter and the options available to the Security Council. The section on peacekeeping also deserves credit, as it probes the legal issues involved in peacekeeping.
