"An important, timely, and courageous book that invites us to think differently about the future of peace. Marsha Henry challenges dominant assumptions about peacekeeping as a peaceful response to war, and urges readers to imagine the prospect of an end to peacekeeping and its legacies of colonialism, militarism, and patriarchy." (Maria Eriksson Baaz, Uppsala University) "The End of Peacekeeping is a comprehensive study of peacekeeping—and interventionism, more broadly—that should be read by all students and scholars of global politics and humanitarian ethics… By assessing peacekeeping as an epistemic project, connecting across traditionally siloed missions, Henry pushes beyond the mainstream discourse on peacekeeping "problems" …and demonstrates how innate violence—colonial, sexist, and racist—is to peacekeeping rather than peacekeepers."
