Capacity-building at the Headquarter Level: The Case of EU Civilian Peace Operations
This article traces the institutional evolution of the Council Secretariat that plans and supports EU civilian peace operations. During the early days of the European Security and Defence Policy in the late 1990s competing political priorities of big EU member states and a dominance of military structures put civilian administrators at a significant disadvantage. Between 2003 and 2007, however, the rising number and complexity of civilian mission…
The New World of UN Peace Operations: Learning to Build Peace?
Peace operations are the UN's flagship activity. Over the past decade, UN blue helmets have been dispatched to evermore challenging environments from the Congo to Timor to perform an expanding set of tasks. From protecting civilians in the midst of violent conflict to rebuilding state institutions after war, a new range of tasks has transformed the business of the blue helmets into an inherently knowledge-based venture. But all too often, the UN …

The Case for a Public Administration Turn in the Study of the Eu's Civilian Crisis Management
This contribution argues for extending the public administration turn in EU studies to the civilian Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). First it delineates the research gap with regard to governance networks and sections of the Council Secretariat that fulfil executive and operational management responsibilities for civilian crisis management. Then it highlights the need to look at cognitive factors, such as bounded rationality and learnin…
Learning to Learn? UN Peacebuilding and the Challenges of Building a Learning Organization
While comprehensive studies on UN peacebuilding assert that ‘learning has not... been one of the strengths of the United Nations ’ (Chesterman 2004, p.256), research so far has largely ignored the UN’s institutional infrastructure for learning. This essay seeks to contribute to closing this gap by surveying the evolution of the UN’s learning infrastructure from the early 1990s to the present. Despite some progress in recent years, the lack of res…
Multisectoral Networks in Global Governance: Towards a Pluralistic System of Accountability
This paper outlines the elements of a pluralistic system of accountability with regard to one of the most ambitious institutional innovations in global governance: multisectoral public policy networks. These networks bring together the public sector (governments and international organizations), civil society and business around issues ranging from corruption, climate change and fighting malaria to environmental and labour standards. We argue tha…
