Peck writes lucidly and with erudition, outlining the roles that myriad international organizations have played, or have capacity to play, in precipitating resolution to conflict. Of particular note and value is her focus upon mechanisms of function, rather than upon units of function. As organisations tend to redefine their roles upon a fairly frequent basis, Peck focuses instead upon what specific means of intervention seem to produce the greatest success. The only questionable aspect of this work is a marked tendency to view organizational interventions (by fairly large, significant actors: OSCE, OAU, OAS, UNDPKO) as really the only means by which conflict should be addressed, and peace built.
That aside, Peck's work provides a remarkable catalogue of the role that organisations have been able to fill, and offers insightful analysis into how more peaceful future outcomes may be provided for.
