The UN's unprecedented commitment in Cambodia was to be the harbinger of a revived role for the UN in enhancing international peace and security in the post-Cold War era. However, in the initial optimism associated with this renewed hope, the nature of the challenge the UN faces in cases of international intervention was not fully recognised. This paper focuses on the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) and the nature of Cambodian politics since UNTAC. In drawing attention to the complexity of domestic conflict in Cambodia, it argues that if there is a lesson to be learnt from UNTAC, it lies in the need to examine the limits of international attempts to transform political cultures and to monitor political developments and enforce agreements once a mandate has expired.

Increases in the number of drug offenders appearing in state and federal courts, coupled with mounting evidence of both the linkages between drug use and crime and the efficacy of drug treatment programs, led many jurisdictions to implement drug treatment courts. Although these courts vary on a number of dimensions, most are designed to reduce drug use and criminal behavior among drug-involved offenders. This study evaluates the effectiveness of one drug court–the Douglas County (Omaha), Nebraska Drug Court–in reducing offender recidivism. We use a variety of analytical techniques to compare drug court participants and offenders in two matched comparison groups on a number of measures of recidivism. Our results reveal that drug court participants have substantially lower rates of recidivism than traditionally adjudicated felony drug offenders, and that the differences in recidivism rates between drug court participants and drug offenders who participated in a diversion program prior to the implementation of the drug court disappeared once we controlled for the offender's assessed level of risk, as indicated by his/her LSI score.
