This study surveys 2,200 items in the English-language literature about the growth industry of peacekeeping and peace-enforcement in the first part of the post-Cold War era. The major reviews cover root causes of conflicts, strategic decisions to intervene, and tactical and operational decisions regarding implementation. The literature surveyed covers UN and UN-approved operations as well as the main case studies. Lengthy endnotes contain references to key publications from the period. This Occasional Paper, financed separately by the Ford Foundation, is pertinent to H&W Project issues but not part of the Project's publications per se.
