Cooperating for Peace and Security cover

This book shows that US interests have shaped institutions, but other states have also driven reforms without US support.

Cooperating for Peace and Security is a comprehensive survey of multilateral security cooperation since 1989, with essays by leading experts on topics from humanitarianism to nuclear security. It shows that US interests have shaped institutions - but other states have also driven reforms without US support.Cooperating for Peace and Security attempts to understand - more than fifteen years after the end of the Cold War, seven years after 9/11, and in the aftermath of the failure of the United Nations (UN) reform initiative - the relationship between US security interests and the factors that drove the evolution of multilateral security arrangements from 1989 to the present. Chapters cover a range of topics - including the UN, US multilateral cooperation, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), nuclear nonproliferation, European and African security institutions, conflict mediation, counterterrorism initiatives, international justice and humanitarian cooperation - examining why certain changes have taken place and the factors that have driven them and evaluating whether they have led to a more effective international system and what this means for facing future challenges.

'This volume provides a uniquely detailed and wide-ranging survey of international institutions and security cooperation since the end of the Cold War. It will become a standard point of reference in debates about the US and multilateralism in a changing world.' Kemal Dervis, Vice President and Director of Global Economy and Development, The Brookings Institution and former Executive Head of UNDP
