Neotrusteeship • Post modernism imperialism • Complicated mixes of international and domestic governance structures that are evolving in Bosnia, Kosovo, East Timor, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, and possibly in the long run, Iraq (James D. Fearon and David D. Laitin, 2004) • Contrast to the classic one (in the concept of trusteeship), the parties to these complex interventions typically seek an international legal mandate for their rule.
UN’s Peacekeeping Efforts : UN PKOs • Based on UN Charter • Security Council has a legal responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, and it serves as the closest approximation to a club of major powers jointly affected by the bad externalities of state collapse (James D. Fearon and David D. Laitin, 2004). • Basic doctrine : as a mediator and monitor that facilities the resolution of political differences dividing the parties • Authorized collective missions : • Namibia (UNTAG, 1989) • Nicaragua (ONUCA, 1989) • Angola (UNAVEM II, 1991) • Cambodia (UNAMIC, then UNTAC, 1991) • Etc.
Success and Failed Missions • Analyzed in the Brahimi report, there are three majors sources of failure in past UN PKOs, such as : • Security Council often approved mission mandates that were overly vague and optimistic about the situation on the ground, leading to inadequate deployments with nuclear objectives. • The mission mandates constructed within the Security Council frequently exceeded the resources provided by the member states. • These two source of problems create gaps between what outside observers could reasonably expect a UN PKO to do, and what it was capable of doing.
Weak States and Transitional Adiministrations • Foster the state building if there is to be any hope to exit without a return to considerable violence. • (implicit theory within the UN )Peace depends on the political and social grievances • Fearon and Laitin : that implicit theory is not relevant to motivating the fighters. Instead, civil war is caused by the conditions of rural insurgencies, and also the new independent state (ex-colonialized) (read : weak ‘new’ government).
