Abstract
ABSTRACT Many scholars contend that United Nations peacekeeping has entered a period of transition, but there is little consensus about the nature of this transition or where it may lead. This article seeks to place these debates into a broader theoretical and historical context. Peacekeeping, I argue, is but the latest instantiation of ‘collective conflict management’ (CCM), which has taken many different forms in the past and likely will again in the future. In particular, this article seeks to explain the international systemic conditions that give rise to, and transform, CCM over time.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a cross-disciplinary journal devoted to critical analysis of international intervention, focussing on interactions and practices that shape, influence and transform states and societies. In 21st century political practice, states and other actors increasingly strive to transplant what they see as normatively progressive political orders to other contexts. Accordingly, JISB focuses on the complex interconnections and mutually shaping interactions between donor and recipient communities within military, economic, social, or other interventional contexts, and welcomes perspectives on political life of, and beyond, European state-building processes. The journal brings together academics and practitioners from cross-disciplinary backgrounds, including international relations, political science, political economy, sociology, international law, social anthropology, geography, and regional studies. The editors are particularly interested in specific or comparative in-depth analyses of contemporary or historical interventions and state-building processes that are grounded in careful fieldwork and/or innovative methodologies. Multi or cross-disciplinary contributions and theoretically challenging pieces that broaden the study of intervention and state building to encompass processes of decision-making, or the complex interplay between actors on the ground, are especially encouraged.
