Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines how major powers conceive the role of the United Nations (UN) in peacebuilding. We conceptualize the UN’s role along the distinction between conflict management and conflict resolution and distinguish between the types of tasks and the approach the UN can adopt. We map states’ conceptions of the UN’s role in peacebuilding by coding peace-related speeches at the UN Security Council (1991–2020) delivered by China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States as well as Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey as rising regional powers. Our findings show that states’ conceptions differ regarding the type of tasks the UN should do. However, the main fault line between the countries lie in the approach the UN should adopt to conduct peacebuilding tasks. We conclude that major powers see a role for the UN beyond mere conflict management as long as it is done with respect for national sovereignty.

冲突管理或冲突解决:大国如何设想联合国在建设和平中的作用?

本文探讨了主要大国如何设想联合国在建设和平中的作用。我们根据冲突管理和冲突解决之间的区别对联合国的作用进行了概念化，并区分了联合国可以采取的任务类型和方法。我们通过将中国、法国、俄罗斯、英国、美国以及巴西、南非和土耳其作为崛起的地区大国在联合国安理会发表的与和平有关的讲话(1991-2020年)编码，绘制出各国对联合国在建设和平中的作用的概念。我们的研究结果表明，各国对联合国应该执行的任务类型的看法不同。然而，两国之间的主要分歧在于联合国应采取何种方式开展建设和平任务。我们得出的结论是，只要在尊重国家主权的前提下，大国认为联合国的作用不仅仅是管理冲突。

期刊介绍： One of the oldest peer-reviewed journals in international conflict and security, Contemporary Security Policy promotes theoretically-based research on policy problems of armed conflict, intervention and conflict resolution. Since it first appeared in 1980, CSP has established its unique place as a meeting ground for research at the nexus of theory and policy. Spanning the gap between academic and policy approaches, CSP offers policy analysts a place to pursue fundamental issues, and academic writers a venue for addressing policy. Major fields of concern include: War and armed conflict Peacekeeping Conflict resolution Arms control and disarmament Defense policy Strategic culture International institutions. CSP is committed to a broad range of intellectual perspectives. Articles promote new analytical approaches, iconoclastic interpretations and previously overlooked perspectives. Its pages encourage novel contributions and outlooks, not particular methodologies or policy goals. Its geographical scope is worldwide and includes security challenges in Europe, Africa, the Middle-East and Asia. Authors are encouraged to examine established priorities in innovative ways and to apply traditional methods to new problems.
