Summary:

This volume presents case studies of U.S. and Russian peacekeeping and peacemaking operations since the end of the Cold War. The chapters are authored by U.S. and Russian policymakers and/or policy analysts who were neither direct participants in, nor first-hand observers of, the events they describe. Drawing on the evidence presented in the case studies, a concluding chapter compares the political and institutional arrangements and procedures through which the two countries decide whether or not to engage in peacekeeping and peacemaking operations and assesses the implications of the key similarities and differences for combined operations in the future.
