I wrote a piece for the University of Ottawa's Centre for International Policy Studies on the Future of NATO Peacekeeping. CIPS is perhaps the most "happening" IR research center in Canada, so I was proud to be asked to do this. Also, it was part of the deal for my trip to London last summer.
Anyhow, take a look--I essentially argue that because of the sour experiences with caveats (national restrictions on units deployed to Afghanistan) and the values gap between Afghanistan and the NATO countries, it is unlikely that NATO will engage in another peace operation in the near to medium future.
