N2  - "This volume explores the development of international peacekeeping as a tool of international relations from the 1920s to the first decade of the twenty-first century. It is concerned with the use of multinational forces to regulate the structure of the international system and to contain local conflicts. Peacekeeping and the International System emphasizes the essential continuity of purpose in the peacekeeping narrative and provides concise but pertinent accounts of the history of the conflicts that have given rise to peacekeeping."--BOOK JACKET
