Peacekeeping as a Power Projection
Introduction. Since the inception of the United Nations peacekeeping missions in 1948, the United States has been involved in them through significant financial contributions and on-ground logistical support. This trajectory of dependence on the US has also shaped the scope, strategy, and objectives of peacekeeping, reflecting a political overture of the United States’ geopolitical interests. Methods and materials. Through contextual analysis of …
USA Policy Towards United Nations
Introduction. This article examines United States policy towards United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UN PKOs) by analyzing the U.S. position towards peacekeeping operations in the Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC) to trace the evolution and specific features of this policy over time. The article attempts to answer the question: is U.S. policy toward UN PKOs defined by only national interest, or is there more to it? Methods and mat…
The United States Policy Towards un Peacekeeping Operations Under the Trump Administration
Introduction. The United States has always been one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and the largest financial donor to the UN System and peacekeeping operations. American policy towards the organization and peacekeeping operations has varied from harsh critique to active support. While in the office, President Trump criticized UN PKO missions for their inefficiency and pointed out the need for reforms both in …
Mission (im)possible? UN military peacekeeping operations in civil wars
Under what conditions can UN military peacekeeping operations (PKOs) succeed in contexts of civil war? This is an important question given the prevalence and cost of civil wars and the high, yet not always fulfilled, expectations of very costly military PKOs as responses to them by the international community. Yet, the academic and policy debates on this question are as long-standing as they are unresolved. Our article contributes to existing sch…
Liberal Arts and Science University and the Global Challenges of the 21st Century
Introduction. Over the last 30 years, the educational model based on liberal arts and sciences has spread beyond its traditional United States to other parts of the world. However, recently, many liberal arts and science universities face a challenge: due to the pressures of the fast developing world, young people prefer more STEMs (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) oriented universities. The paper addresses the following question…
United Nations Peacekeeping in Timor-Leste
This article seeks to elucidate many of the avoidable difficulties that the United Nations (UN) face when intervening in a given conflict. The article begins with a review of the UN's capability to act, fund, cooperate, and coordinate in peacekeeping missions. The UN's capability to respond to conflict is, in theory, boundless; however, it is limited by the realities of operating within the UN's vast bureaucracy and the possibility of member stat…
A recipe for success? Ingredients of a successful peacekeeping mission
This article seeks to determine why the UN has been more successful in managing some internal conflicts than others. First, success is defined broadly – limiting violence, reducing human suffering, and containing the conflict as well as fulfilling the mission's mandate. Second, a broad set of potential determinants of success collected from the literature is tested using an analysis of 17 peacekeeping missions from 1945 to 1998. This study confir…
Towards a Strategic Partnership? The US and Russian Response to the European Security and Defence Policy
The article surveys the responses to the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) of two important external actors: the United States and Russia. It explains the motivations behind these responses and the effect of the latter on the development of the ESDP. The survey finds that both the Clinton and the Bush administrations in the USA have expressed cautious support for the initiative while insisting on NATO's salience in Europe. Russia's enth…
Towards Successful Peace-keeping
Using a case study of the UN’s experiences in Croatia, this essay addresses the question of why some UN peace-keeping missions succeed, while others fail. The essay develops wider criteria of success than usually employed in peace-keeping literature and analyzes the performance in Croatia based on these measures. It then takes hypotheses extracted from the international relations literature on peace-keeping and comparative politics literature on …
