Beyond Borders: Global wars and the future of Peacekeeping

Description

Beyond Borders: Global Wars and the Future of Peacekeeping explores one of the most pressing challenges of our time, the persistence of wars in an interconnected yet fragmented world. From interstate conflicts to civil wars, proxy battles, and hybrid warfare, the book examines how the nature of global conflict is evolving and asks a central question: can peacekeeping adapt to these shifting realities? Drawing on history, case studies, and emerging trends, it evaluates the strengths, limitations, and future directions of peacekeeping efforts in a rapidly changing global order. The book highlights the role of the United Nations, regional organizations, and new forms of multilateral cooperation, while also reflecting on the impacts of climate change, migration, terrorism, and technological disruption on war and peace. Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, Beyond Borders offers a comprehensive framework for understanding why sustainable peace requires innovation, inclusion, and shared responsibility. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and peace practitioners committed to rethinking the future of peacekeeping in the 21st century.
