This book considers the varied roles played by the United Nations in cases where threats to peace are created by civil strife in modernizing societies. These struggles for internal supremacy are viewed by the superpowers and other states as parts of larger racial, anti-colonial, or ideological contests. Through a careful analysis of selected cases-Algeria, Angola, the Congo, Cyprus, the Dominican Republic, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Lebanon, Laos, Yemen, and Vietnam-the author clarifies the legal and political factors limiting the United Nations' effectiveness in containing violence and promoting peaceful change.
Originally published in 1967.

Stanley Hoffman is a scholar of international relations and French politics who has inspired former students to explore the links between domestic society and foreign policy, and between theory and practice. This collection of essays encapsulates the essence of the thought of Hoffman's generation, as well as providing a record of intellectual achievement from the origins of World War II to the turbulent aftermath of the Cold War. Included are two autobiographical chapters by Hoffman himself in which he traces his personal odyssey from France to America. The book also contains a contribution from the late Judity Shklar summing up her generation's influence on contemporary political science.
