Wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite all the bad-news headlines, peacekeeping is working. Fewer wars are starting, more are ending, and those that remain are smaller and more localized. But peace doesn't just happen; it needs to be put into effect. Moreover, understanding the global decline in armed conflict is crucial as America shifts to an era of lower military budgets and operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreeminent scholar of international relations, Joshua Goldstein, definitively illustrates how decades of effort by humanitarian aid agencies, popular movements—and especially the United Nations—have made a measureable difference in reducing violence in our times. Goldstein shows how we can continue building on these inspiring achievements to keep winning the war on war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis updated and revised edition includes more information on a post-9-11 world, and is a perfect compendium for those wishing to learn more about the United States' armed conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.   \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New American Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52278713811255,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":146.28,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780452298590-1.jpg?v=1784960914","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780452298590","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
