Annual Review of Global Peace Operations 2008

March 2008

Center on International Cooperation

Abstract

The Center on International Cooperation’s (CIC) Annual Review of Global Peace Operations is the most comprehensive report of its kind, examining more than fifty UN and non-UN peace operations. It aims to inform policy-makers, media outlets, academics and peacekeepers as the international community debates the prominent role of peace operations in conflict management. The report draws on data previously unavailable outside of the United Nations and other non-UN peacekeeping platforms. CIC prepared the Annual Review with the support of the Peacekeeping Best Practices Section of the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations, and the African Union Peace and Security Department.
