Peacekeeping -Why is it important to understand and study peacekeeping? -Does this benefit improve our objectives?
How is peacekeeping defined? - West-Phalian Post West-Phalian conceptions of liberal peace insist that democratic states do not fight wars with one another one role of peacekeepers should be to spread liberal democracy, thus reducing the likelihood of war between (and within) states. • liberal peace attempts to create institutions • spaces for the peaceful resolution of disputes between states • This approach to peacekeeping is most closely associated with ‘traditional peacekeeping’
IndarJirRikhye Thoughts • peacekeeping provided a mechanism for resolving conflict without the direct intervention of the Cold War superpowers • peacekeeping operations mobilized international society to make a commitment to the maintenance of peace • he conceived peacekeeping as ‘a diplomatic key opening the way to further negotiations for a peaceful resolution of conflicts’
UN involvement in peacekeeping In 1992 Boutros Boutros-Ghali sparked debate with the following: • He defined peacekeeping as ‘the deployment of a UN presence in the field, hitherto with the consent of all parties concerned” • Should UN be involved in peacekeeping operations?
Problems that Arise with Peacekeeping • they take peacekeeping practices as a self evident starting point for analysis, rather than trying to understand what roles peacekeeping plays in the wider processes and structures of global politics.
Problems Continued • a preoccupation with classifying peacekeeping operations has played down their inherently ad hoc, political nature and concealed disagreements about their ultimate purposes
Globalization in regards to Peacekeeping • Does globalization play a role in peacekeeping? • The US and G-7 have facilitated the process of globalization • WHY?? • P. 16 offers a good outline of globalization
