Summary / Abstract (Note)As the globe's dominant power with interests and influence around the world, the United States has been an essential yet uneasy partner in peace operations. This article considers three contemporary challenges that illustrate the double-edged nature of US involvement: the increasingly robust nature of peace operations, the importance of long-term political engagement, and the need for new institutional partnerships to meet increasing demand. The United States is uniquely capable of facilitating success in all three areas, yet its global status tends to raise questions about the motives of US involvement in peace operations and its ability to serve collective purposes
