Op-Ed by Richard Gowan on 'The Globalist'

Based on the latest ZIF Policy Briefing, the Globalist recently published an op-ed by Richard Gowan.

"Is United Nations peacekeeping fading away? Or are we just settling into a new normal? Richard Gowan argues that the greatest threats to UN operations in the years ahead may not come from individual atrocities. Rather, a mix of financial pressures and gaps in international military resources may cut off the money, troops and hardware the UN needs."
