This groundbreaking book brings the insights of organization and public administration theories to the analysis and enhancement of complex peace operations. Focusing on three essential and interrelated aspects of organizations--coordination, learning, and leadership--the authors bridge the gap between research on UN peacekeeping and the realities confronted both in the office and in the field.
