The necessity for the United Nations Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) arose from a crisis in relations between the island's Greek and Turkish communities precipitated by an attempt on the part of President Makarios in November 1963 to adjust the 1960 Constitution in such a way as to lessen the influence of the Turkish minority within the state's institutions. An early unsuccessful attempt at mediation by Britain in the first weeks of 1964 (which aimed at a solution within the context of Nato) gave way to Security Council consideration at a series of meetings in February and March which resulted in a motion to dispatch a peacekeeping force.

Background and controversy; influence of the nonaligned countries.

Die Erfahrungen mit dem Einsatz der United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) von März 1978 bis Juni 1982 werden ausgewertet im Hinblick auf die Frage, welche Art von Friedenstruppe den libanesischen Interessen (Wiedererlangen staatlicher Autorität) am stärksten dient, und ob die USA ihren Einfluss und evtl. eigene Truppen für erweiterte Friedensoperationen einsetzen sollten.

The division of labor between a state's military & police force is dictated by fundamental state ideologies & resultant political strategies for creation & maintenance of a particular sociopolitical order. The division of labor consequently must be analyzed historically & concretely. Ulster is the focus for exploring this more general phenomenon. To explain Whitehall's current utilization of police & military, especially its push at present to replace the British Army with the Royal Ulster Constabulary, one must trace the evolution of the British state system as it affected Ulster back to the eighteenth century. What becomes clear is that the ethnic stratification system was the principal determinant of how the central state elites created & continually adjusted military-police relations in Ulster. Out of an analysis of changing police-military-ethnic relations in Ulster one gains a keener appreciation of the extent to which security protected in Northern Ireland is the security of the state. The security of ordinary Ulstermen is only secondary. AA.
