Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the need for and develop a framework for research on the effects UN peace operation infrastructure has on a host nation. Mission infrastructure serves primarily to sustain a mission. As the mission terminates, infrastructure is often transferred to the host nation. The mission infrastructures could have both positive and negative implications for the host nation and for local communities.Design/methodology/approachExploratory approach to develop a foundation for a research agenda in an area with little existing research. Identify theoretical contributions related to infrastructures, combine with primary data from one peace operation, secondary data from five other peace operations and from the UN repositories.FindingsThis study proposes a research agenda. As such our findings relate to the identification and classification of different infrastructures and their interdependencies.Research limitations/implicationsThis framework would contribute to new ways of exploring and analysing both the effectiveness of peace operations and the impact a mission has on the development in the host nation.Practical implicationsThis study proposes a framework for research. As such, it will have implications primarily for researchers.Social implicationsUnderstanding the interdependencies between mission infrastructures and the material and social infrastructures of a host nation would help understanding what value mission infrastructure brings to a host nation and the local communities.Originality/valueAnalysing the logistics in peace support operations as networks of infrastructures bring new perspectives into humanitarian logistics.

战争与和平的基础设施
本文的目的是确定联合国和平行动基础设施对东道国的影响的必要性并制定一个研究框架。特派团基础设施主要用于维持特派团。随着任务的结束,基础设施通常会转移到东道国。特派团的基础设施可能对东道国和当地社区产生积极和消极的影响。设计/方法论/方法探索性的方法,在一个几乎没有现有研究的领域为研究议程奠定基础。确定与基础设施有关的理论贡献,并结合来自一个和平行动的主要数据、来自其他五个和平行动的次要数据和来自联合国存储库的数据。本研究提出了一个研究议程。因此,我们的研究结果与不同基础设施及其相互依赖性的识别和分类有关。研究限制/影响这一框架将有助于探索和分析和平行动的有效性以及特派团对东道国发展的影响的新方法。实际意义本研究提出了一个研究框架。因此,它将主要对研究人员产生影响。社会影响了解任务基础设施与东道国的物质和社会基础设施之间的相互依赖关系将有助于了解任务基础设施给东道国和当地社区带来的价值。原创性/价值分析和平支助行动中的后勤,因为基础设施网络为人道主义后勤带来了新的视角。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is targeted at academics and practitioners in humanitarian public and private sector organizations working on all aspects of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. The journal promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas between researchers and practitioners and encourages a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to the resolution of problems and exploitations of opportunities within humanitarian supply chains. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines (logistics, operations management, process engineering, health care, geography, management science, information technology, ethics, corporate social responsibility, disaster management, development aid, public policy) but need to have a logistics and/or supply chain focus. JHLSCM publishes state of the art research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, in the field of humanitarian and development aid logistics and supply chain management.
