How the Un's Protection of Civilians Contributes to Peace Processes","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the last twenty years, the protection of civilians (POC) has become central to the mandates of multidimensional peacekeeping operations, elevated as a core issue on the Security Council's agenda, and designated as a priority among mandated tasks. This prioritization is based in part on assumptions that POC is a critical enabling factor to achieve peace and that it contributes to the durability of peace. However, the truth of these assumptions remains untested.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this illuminating study, Jenna Russo explores the relationship between violence against civilians and peace, including whether such violence lengthens conflict duration or undermines the prospects for longer-term peacebuilding. Using a mixed-methods approach, including case studies on South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, she then examines the extent to which UN POC activities are able to protect civilians from violence and mitigate the potential negative impact it has on peace. This book contributes to both academic and policy debates around the effectiveness of peacekeeping and the protection of civilians, as well as academic research related to conflict duration and the effects of violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenna Russo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031814282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031814280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 6.30w x 0.65d","brand":"Jenna Russo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47036595405055,"sku":"9783031814280","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_edd2946b-9f66-48be-ae83-07befa145e74.jpg?v=1752638061","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/protecting-peace-how-the-uns-jenna-russo-9783031814280","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
