Drawing upon a large array of literature and expert analysis this thesis will explain how given various factors ranging from poor operation planning at the UN, Lebanese and Israeli intransigence, domestic political constraints, foreign intervention, and unrealistic expectations from UNIFIL, resulted in the failure of the operation in preventing the 2006 war between Israel and Hizballah. This research is unique in that it focuses in depth on the reasons behind the failure of UNIFIL and what this could mean for other peacekeeping operations facing non-state force employing asymmetric warfare against state militaries. | | Subject | : | Social sciences; Political science; International law; 0615:Political science; 0616:International law | | Added Entry | : | University of Manitoba (Canada) |
