Debates over the appropriate relationship between the United Nations and regional arrangements are only going to intensify. This innovative new study analyzes the collaboration between the United Nations and the African Union concerning civilian protection in Darfur. It provides a sophisticated discussion of the many challenges that arise when the global organization is seen as illegitimate by the host government while the regional organization lacks the capabilities to carry out the robust peacekeeping required to protect civilians.

Paul D. Williams, Elliott School of International Affairs,
The George Washington University

Linnea Gelot explains convincingly how the AU benefitted from the UN's international legitimacy for its AMIS mission in Darfur, and how the UN depended on the local and regional legitimacy of the AU for the successful transition of the Darfur mission to UNAMID. She finds that the mutual recognition of the tangible value derived from this legitimacy allowed the relationship between the UN and the AU to mature into a partnership. Gelot's book tackles the complex links between legitimacy and power head-on and unmasks the important role collective legitimation plays in fostering regional-global relations.

Cedric de Coning, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, Norway.

Simply the best book available on the global-regional security partnership! Through an innovative lense of international legitimation, Gelot leads the way into the next generation of scholarly work on the much-discussed partnership between the United Nations and regional organizations.

LEGITIMACY, PEACE OPERATIONS
AND GLOBAL-REGIONAL SECURITY

At the turn of the century the regionalglobal security partnership became a key element of peace and security policy-making. This book investigates the impact of the joint effort made by the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN) to keep the peace and protect civilians in Darfur.

This book focuses on the collaboration that takes place in the field of conflict management between the global centre and the African regional level. It moves beyond the dominant framework on regionalglobal security partnerships, which mainly considers one-sided legal and political factors. Instead, new perspectives on the relationships are presented through the lens of international legitimacy. The book argues that the AU and the UN Security Council fight for legitimacy to ensure their positions of authority and to improve the chances of success of their activities. It demonstrates in regard to the case of Darfur why and how legitimacy matters for states, international organisations, and also for global actors and local populations.

Legitimacy, Peace Operations and Global-Regional Security will be of interest to students and scholars of International Relations, African Security and Global Governance.

Linna Gelot is a Post-doctoral fellow at the Gothenburg Centre of Globalization and Development (GCGD) and a researcher at the Nordic Africa Institute (NAI) in Uppsala, Sweden.

This series reflects the broadening conceptions of security and the growing nexus between the study of governance issues and security issues. The topics covered in the series range from issues relating to the management of terrorism and political violence, non-state actors, transnational security threats, migration, borders, and homeland security to questions surrounding weak and failing states, post-conflict reconstruction, the evolution of regional and international security institutions, energy and environmental security, and the proliferation of WMD. Particular emphasis is placed on publishing theoretically-informed scholarship that elucidates the governance mechanisms, actors and processes available for managing issues in the new security environment.
