Building peace requires much more than the trappings of war to impede violence. In most cases civil authority, whatever that may be, is an integral part of the peace support process. Rietjens (civil-military cooperation, Netherlands Defense Academy) analyzes civil-military cooperation at the theoretical and historical levels, concentrating on Kosovo (1999-2000), Kabul (2003-2004) and the Baghlan in Afghanistan (2004-2005) to determine the effectiveness of logistics, construction and security. He describes how the cooperation works in theory, and current process models of civil-military cooperation, then analyzes each of the cases in turn, building to a cross-case analysis of performance. He concludes with recommendations for use in future peacekeeping and emergency situations, whether at a region, national or international level. He includes an impressive list of references and resources. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
