UN Peacekeeping Doctrine in a New Era Adapting to Stabilisation Protection and New Threats

UN Peacekeeping Doctrine in a New Era Adapting to Stabilisation Protection and New Threats

This edited volume offers a thorough review of peacekeeping theory and reality in contemporary contexts and aligns the two to help inform practice. Recent UN peacekeeping operations have challenged the traditional peacekeeping principles of consent impartiality and the minimum use of force. The pace and scope of these changes have now reached a tipping point as the new mandates are fundamentally challenging the continued validity of the UN peacekeeping’s core principles and identity. In response the volume analyses the growing gap between these actual practices and existing UN peacekeeping doctrine exploring how it undermines the effectiveness of UN operations and endangers lives arguing that a common doctrine is a critical starting point for effective multi-national operations. In order to determine the degree to which this general principle applies to the current state of UN peacekeeping this book: Provides a review of conceptual and doctrinal developments in UN peacekeeping operations through a historical perspective Examines the debate related to peace operations doctrine and concepts among key Member States Focuses on the actual practice of peacekeeping by conducting case studies of several UN peacekeeping missions in order to identify gaps between practice and doctrine Critically analyses gaps between emerging peacekeeping practice and existing doctrine Recommends that the UN moves beyond the peacekeeping principles and doctrine of the past Combining empirical case-based studies on UN peace operations with studies on the views and policies of key UN Security Council members that generate these mandates and views of key contributors of UN peacekeepers this volume will be of great use to policy-makers; UN officials and peace operations practitioners; and academics working on peace and conflict/security studies international organizations and conflict management. | UN Peacekeeping Doctrine in a New Era Adapting to Stabilisation Protection and New Threats

UN Intervention Practices in Iraq A Discursive Approach to International Interventions

UN Intervention Practices in Iraq A Discursive Approach to International Interventions

This book analyzes UN intervention discourses and practices in Iraq and develops a deconstructive approach to international interventions. Hitherto most analyses of the conflict in Iraq in 2003 have established the UN’s role as path-dependent on the foreign policy of the US and the UK and largely portrayed it as a mediator and fervent opponent of international intervention. Analyzing the UN Security Council and the later UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) from 2000 to 2010 this book undoes this path-dependency and puts the UN’s relationship with Iraq center-stage. It develops a deconstructive critical approach that identifies subject construction and reflexivity as central processes of intervention practices and concludes that (non-)intervention is deeply connected to the stabilization of political identities and representations. Using extensive primary data the book contributes a new perspective on international interventions. This book will be of much interest to students of peace and conflict studies intervention and statebuilding Middle Eastern studies and International Relations. | UN Intervention Practices in Iraq A Discursive Approach to International Interventions

Emerging Powers and the UN What Kind of Development Partnership?

Emerging Powers and the UN What Kind of Development Partnership?

The post-2015 sustainable development goals and the changing environment for development cooperation requires a renewed and transformed UN system. In line with their increasing significance as economic powers a growing number of emerging countries will play an expanded role in the UN system which could take the form of growing financial contributions greater presence in governance higher staff representation a stronger voice in development deliberations and a greater overall influence on the development agenda. Emerging Powers and the UN explores in depth the relationship of these countries on the world stage and their role in the future UN development system. Formally the relationship is through representation as member states (first UN) and also UN staff (second UN). However the importance of civil society and market actors (third UN) in emerging countries is also growing. This book was originally published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly. | Emerging Powers and the UN What Kind of Development Partnership?

The Use of Force in UN Peacekeeping

The Use of Force in UN Peacekeeping

This edited volume provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of UN peacekeeping and the use of force to inform a better understanding of the complex and interconnected issues at stake for the UN community. Peacekeeping is traditionally viewed as a largely passive military activity governed by the principles of impartiality consent and the minimum use of force. Today most large UN Peacekeeping Operations are only authorized to use force in defence of their mandates and to protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence. Recently with the deployment of the Force Intervention Brigade in the DRC the UN has gone beyond peacekeeping and into the realm of peace-enforcement. These developments have brought to the fore questions regarding the use of force in the context of peacekeeping. The key questions addressed in this book examine not only the utility of force but also the dilemmas and constraints inherent to the purposive use of force at a strategic operational and tactical level. Should UN peacekeepers exercise military initiative?Is UN peacekeeping capable of undertaking offensive military operations?If so then under what circumstances should peacekeepers use force?How should force be wielded? And against whom? With chapters written by experts in the field this comprehensive volume will be of great use and interest to postgraduate students academics and experts in international security the UN peacekeeping and diplomacy. | The Use of Force in UN Peacekeeping
