This book illustrates the OSCE institutional system and critically evaluates its ability to cope with an evolving European security order. It extensively covers the three-fold core of the OSCE: human rights, peaceful settlement of disputes, and peace-keeping. In doing so, it includes discussion of the High Commissioner of National Minorities, long-term missions, peace-keeping instruments and OSCE relations with the United Nations and European security organizations, the Valletta mechanism, and the OSCE Court of Conciliation and Arbitration.

The OSCE in the Maintenance of Peace and Security benefits from diverse perspectives via the efforts of lawyers, career diplomats, international relations scholars, and international officials. Its extensive index facilitates consultation on a broad range of complex issues including the practice of the Organization, with an analysis of case-studies such as:

Nagorno-Karabakh and the former Yugoslavia;

the theoretical foundation of OSCE instruments and functions; and

a chapter on OSCE's Mediterranean dimension, examining the OSCE periphery and the possibility of its geographical expansion.

The complete account of the OSCE structure, functions, and perspectives makes it an invaluable tool for lawyers, international relations experts, diplomats, and international civil servants.
