This volume looks at the practical implications of mainstreaming human security. It focuses on the potential, problems and policies of human security in crisis management in general, and on crisis management operations of the European Union and the United Nations in particular. Topics addressed by the contributors include human rights in post-conflict situations, democratizing' crisis management, restorative responses to human rights violations by peacemakers, and human security in Serbia and Africa. Although many of the contributions to the book focus on mainstreaming human security in the EU context, the chapters discuss global issues and draw conclusions which are of relevance all over the world.
