商品描述
This book traces the establishment of the Arab League's little-known first peacekeeping operation (the first non-United Nations, regionally mandated peacekeeping operation after 1945), deployed to Kuwait in 1961-1963. It follows how the Arab League, a loose association of newly independent Arab states with conflicting views on the concepts of Arab nationalism and unity, could work through its many member differences to mandate and deploy the Arab League Security Force (ALSF). The chapters follow a chronological format that provides a review behind the first test of Arab League military coordination during the 1948 Israeli War of Independence and the subsequent development of new parameters for military cooperation. The book reviews British colonial ties with Kuwait and the significance of the latter to post-World War II regional and international politics. Iraq threatened annexation immediately after Kuwaiti independence resulting in failed discussions within the United Nations Security Council and then within the Arab League itself. Chapters trace the details behind the debate in both organizations as well as the issues faced by the Arab League to actually deploy the ALSF and later prevent its breakup after the 1963 Iraqi coup. A valuable read for those researching Middle Eastern history, peacekeeping, and the Arab League, this book sheds light on the geopolitical context that brought about the creation of the ALSF.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書追溯了阿拉伯聯盟鮮為人知的首次維和行動（1945年後首個非聯合國、區域授權的維和行動），該行動於1961年至1963年部署至科威特。書中探討了阿拉伯聯盟這個由新獨立的阿拉伯國家組成的鬆散聯盟，儘管對阿拉伯民族主義和統一的概念存在衝突的看法，卻如何克服成員之間的差異，授權並部署阿拉伯聯盟安全部隊（ALSF）。各章節按照時間順序排列，回顧了1948年以色列獨立戰爭期間阿拉伯聯盟軍事協調的首次考驗，以及隨後軍事合作新參數的發展。本書回顧了英國與科威特的殖民關係及其在二戰後區域和國際政治中的重要性。科威特獨立後，伊拉克立即威脅併吞，導致聯合國安全理事會內部的討論失敗，隨後在阿拉伯聯盟內部也出現了類似情況。各章節追溯了這兩個組織內部辯論的細節，以及阿拉伯聯盟在實際部署ALSF和隨後防止其在1963年伊拉克政變後解散所面臨的問題。這本書對於研究中東歷史、維和行動和阿拉伯聯盟的人來說，是一本寶貴的讀物，揭示了促成ALSF成立的地緣政治背景。
