Abstract
The final chapter of the book examines the prospects for the pursuit of cosmopolitan security goals by national militaries. As the previous chapter suggests, the UN has been a fertile site for the development of more sophisticated military concepts for civilian protection and human security goals. However, in a world of sovereign states, and with no independent military capacity, UN peacekeeping is often beset by lack of consensus on key issues and the influence of national interest.
