ABSTRACT Nowadays, police officers are regularly deployed as members of multilateral peace operations. This article examines how these experts implement their mandates and how we can understand their activities. For this, we draw on a set of 90 semi-structured interviews with European police experts who have experience in multilateral policing. We find that, to navigate their work abroad, European police officers primarily rely on their own domestic policing experience, their experience from previous deployments and the experience of colleagues they meet in the mission. The extent to which they can rely on their own experience is shaped by how much discretion they find at their disposal. We identify two conditions limiting their discretion: the preferences, policies and histories of host states, and institutional lock-in effects within missions that reduce officers’ room to manoeuvre over time. While we also find that officers do not normally draw on international guidance documents in their everyday work, missions can nevertheless be regarded as sites where more localized transnational policing practices emerge. These mission-specific transnational practices are formed, over time, by successive cohorts of police officers from different countries.
摘要如今,警察作为多边和平行动的成员定期部署。本文探讨了这些专家如何执行他们的任务,以及我们如何理解他们的活动。为此,我们对在多边警务方面有经验的欧洲警察专家进行了90次半结构化采访。我们发现,为了在国外开展工作,欧洲警察主要依靠自己的国内警务经验、以前部署的经验以及在任务中遇到的同事的经验。他们可以在多大程度上依赖自己的经验,取决于他们有多大的自由裁量权。我们确定了两个限制他们自由裁量权的条件:东道国的偏好、政策和历史,以及特派团内部的制度锁定效应,这些效应会随着时间的推移减少军官的机动空间。虽然我们还发现,警察在日常工作中通常不会借鉴国际指导文件,但特派团仍然可以被视为出现更多本地化跨国警务做法的地方。随着时间的推移,这些针对特定任务的跨国做法是由来自不同国家的一批又一批警察形成的。

Incredible Commitments: How UN Peacekeeping Failures Shape Peace Processes 令人难以置信的承诺:联合国维和失败如何影响和平进程

The credible commitment problem refers to the inability of parties in a conflict to commit to a peace agreement because they distrust the other party to keep up their end of the bargain. This problem is the prevailing explanation for why parties in a civil war cannot resolve their conflict peacefully without the involvement of a third party, such as the UN. According to this dominant view, UN peace operations make negotiated settlement possible by providing essential security guarantees that address credible commitment problems. In Incredible Commitments: How UN Peacekeeping Failures Shape Peace Processes, Anjali Kaushlesh Dayal contests this prevailing explanation by presenting an alternative theoretical framework in which combatants seek international assistance due to various distributional and reputational reasons, but not because of a predominant security concern. According to Dayal, parties in a peace process learn from highly visible failures of UN peacekeeping elsewhere but keep requesting UN assistance. As combatants often have strong reasons to doubt the UN’s ability to address commitment problems and deliver credible guarantees, the credible commitment theory of war termination is incomplete, if not flawed:
可信承诺问题是指冲突各方由于不信任对方遵守协议而无法承诺达成和平协议。这个问题是为什么内战各方在没有第三方(如联合国)参与的情况下无法和平解决冲突的普遍解释。根据这一主流观点,联合国和平行动通过提供解决可信承诺问题的基本安全保障,使谈判解决成为可能。在《令人难以置信的承诺:联合国维和失败如何塑造和平进程》一书中,Anjali Kaushlesh Dayal对这一普遍解释提出了质疑,他提出了一个替代理论框架,在该框架中,战斗人员由于各种分配和声誉原因寻求国际援助,但不是因为主要的安全问题。达亚尔表示,和平进程中的各方从联合国在其他地方维和行动的明显失败中吸取了教训,但仍不断请求联合国援助。由于战斗人员往往有充分的理由怀疑联合国解决承诺问题和提供可信保证的能力,因此终止战争的可信承诺理论即使没有缺陷,也是不完整的:

ABSTRACT This article explores the interactions between the memories of Belgian peacekeepers killed in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, the weight of the colonial past, and the Belgian foreign policy. Using interviews with Belgian politicians and diplomats, families of peacekeepers, former blue helmets, as well as a corpus of official speeches, this article finds that the memorialization of blue helmets has influenced Belgian political choices on three levels, namely: domestic politics, its bilateral relationship with Rwanda, and more broadly its position in international peacekeeping. In doing so, this article contributes to interdisciplinary debates on the role of collective memory in domestic and international politics.
本文探讨了1994年卢旺达大屠杀中牺牲的比利时维和人员的记忆、殖民历史的重要性以及比利时外交政策之间的相互作用。通过对比利时政治家和外交官、维和人员家属、前蓝盔人员以及官方讲话的采访,本文发现,纪念蓝盔人员在三个层面上影响了比利时的政治选择,即:国内政治、与卢旺达的双边关系,以及更广泛地说,比利时在国际维和行动中的立场。在这样做的过程中,本文有助于跨学科讨论集体记忆在国内和国际政治中的作用。

Institutional Choice, Risk, and Control: The G5 Sahel and Conflict Management in the Sahel 制度选择、风险与控制:萨赫勒五国集团与萨赫勒地区的冲突管理

ABSTRACT Using institutional choice theory, this article seeks to explain why the G5 Sahel, an international organization that comprises Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger, was created in 2014 and tasked to deal with conflict management in the Sahel through its Joint Force that was established in 2017. While the use of the theory offers crucial insights into the creation of the G5 Sahel, I also find that the theory overestimates the costs and risks attached to the creation of a new institution while underestimating the desire of states to maintain control over actions on the ground – at least when it comes to security questions.
运用制度选择理论,本文试图解释为什么萨赫勒五国集团(G5 Sahel)是一个由布基纳法索、乍得、马里、毛里塔尼亚和尼日尔组成的国际组织,于2014年成立,并通过2017年成立的联合部队负责处理萨赫勒地区的冲突管理。虽然该理论的运用为萨赫勒五国集团的创建提供了至关重要的见解,但我也发现,该理论高估了创建一个新机构所附带的成本和风险,同时低估了各国保持对实地行动控制的愿望——至少在涉及安全问题时是这样。

Women as the Essential Protectors of Children?: Gender and Child Protection in UN Peacekeeping 妇女是儿童必不可少的保护者?:联合国维和行动中的性别与儿童保护

ABSTRACT The United Nations and many member states have placed increased emphasis on improving child protection in UN peacekeeping missions, particularly with regard to child soldiers. These efforts often depict a critical role for female peacekeepers in child protection. In this paper I analyse UN child protection documents, drawing on feminist critiques of gendered discourses in peacekeeping and work on children in global politics to explore how the UN understands gender in child protection contexts. I do so through an analysis of how peacekeepers’ gendered subject positions and representations of children in need of protection are constructed. I find that the construction of children primarily as victims lacking agency and in need of being saved, and a focus on female peacekeepers primarily in community engagement, risk perpetuating the neglect of children’s agency during armed conflict and leave the protective masculine basis of peacekeeping largely unchallenged. These constructions have implications for the implementation of both the children and armed conflict and WPS agendas in peacekeeping.
联合国和许多会员国越来越重视在联合国维和行动中加强对儿童的保护,特别是在儿童兵方面。这些努力往往描绘了女性维和人员在保护儿童方面的关键作用。在本文中,我分析了联合国儿童保护文件,借鉴了女权主义者对维和行动中性别话语的批评,并研究了全球政治中的儿童问题,探讨了联合国如何理解儿童保护背景下的性别问题。为此,我分析了维和人员的性别主体地位和需要保护的儿童的表述是如何构建的。我发现,将儿童主要视为缺乏机构和需要拯救的受害者,以及主要在社区参与中关注女性维和人员,可能会使武装冲突期间对儿童机构的忽视永久化,并使维持和平的男性保护基础基本不受挑战。这些结构对在维持和平行动中执行儿童与武装冲突议程和儿童与武装冲突议程都有影响。

State Responsibility and Accountability in UN Peacekeeping: The Case of The Mothers of Srebrenica v. The Netherlands 联合国维持和平行动中的国家责任和问责:斯雷布雷尼察母亲诉荷兰案

ABSTRACT The legal immunity of the UN has focused the peacekeeping literature on individual accountability and the political willingness of States to prosecute their own. UN immunity applies to peacekeeping operations only when the UN is in effective control. When a State is exerting effective control over its contingent, either solely or jointly, the actions of peacekeepers will be attributed to that State. When States are in effective control, they cannot rely on UN immunity for breaches of their obligations. Once a State is exercising effective control, it must warrant that sufficient mechanisms are undertaken to fulfil its obligations under the law, specifically the extra-territorial nature of international human rights law. The Mothers of Srebrenica case highlights that peacekeeping accountability is not limited to the prosecution of individual peacekeepers. Although UN immunity limits specific avenues of legal recourse, it does not prevent victims from seeking accountability from Troop Contributing Countries.
联合国的法律豁免权使维和文献聚焦于个人问责和各国起诉自己国家的政治意愿。只有在联合国有效控制下,联合国豁免才适用于维持和平行动。当一个国家单独或共同对其特遣队实施有效控制时,维持和平人员的行动将归于该国。当国家处于有效控制之下时,它们不能依赖联合国对违反其义务的豁免。一国一旦实行有效控制,就必须保证采取充分的机制来履行法律规定的义务,特别是国际人权法的治外法权性质。“斯雷布雷尼察之母”一案突出表明,维持和平问责不仅限于起诉个别维和人员。虽然联合国豁免限制了诉诸法律的具体途径,但这并不妨碍受害者向部队派遣国追究责任。

Protecting Civilians: Mission Critical or Mission Impossible? 保护平民:关键任务还是不可能任务?

UN iconography around the protection of civilians in conflict contexts tends to be disarmingly reassuring. In one striking – if not atypical – image, a lightskinned and lightly-armed peacekeeper stands silent watch as an African woman goes about her daily business of gathering wood. Beyond the gendered and neocolonial tropes that are hard at work in this particular photo – evoking ‘white men saving brown women from brown men’ – the message conveyed is one of quiet professionalism, with the UN’s thin blue line unthreateningly keeping out-of-frame dangers at bay, enabling everyday life to carry on. While the protection of civilians (PoC) in conflict-affected contexts has become increasingly central to contemporary peace operations, in reality the exercise of armed international agency in defence of the vulnerable has a decidedly uneven track record, and peacekeeping itself has proven to be an awkward and imperfect instrument of protection. Too often, despite strong mandates authorizing ‘all means necessary’, peacekeepers have failed to act, with disastrous consequences. Sexual abuse and exploitation scandals, in which peacekeepers prey on the very populations they are sent to protect, have also continued to plague UN operations and undermine their credibility with host populations. And even in cases where the UN can justifiably claim to have been instrumental in saving thousands of lives – as with South Sudan’s PoC sites – in circumstances
联合国关于在冲突环境中保护平民的形象往往令人放心。在一张引人注目(如果不是非典型的话)的照片中,一名身穿浅色衣服、全副武装的维和人员静静地站在那里,看着一名非洲妇女从事她的日常拾木工作。除了这张照片中难以奏效的性别和新殖民主义比喻——唤起“白人男性从棕色男性手中拯救棕色女性”——传达的信息是一种安静的专业精神,联合国的细蓝线毫无威胁地阻止了画面外的危险,使日常生活得以继续。尽管在受冲突影响的环境中保护平民已成为当代和平行动的核心,但事实上,武装国际机构在保护弱势群体方面的表现显然参差不齐,维和本身已被证明是一种尴尬和不完善的保护手段。尽管有强有力的授权“采取一切必要手段”,但维和人员往往未能采取行动,造成灾难性后果。维和人员掠夺被派去保护的人群的性虐待和性剥削丑闻也继续困扰着联合国的行动,并破坏了他们在东道国民众中的信誉。即使在联合国可以理直气壮地宣称在拯救数千人生命方面发挥了作用的情况下——就像南苏丹的PoC遗址一样——在这种情况下

‘The Home Stress’: The Role of Soldiers’ Family Life on Peacekeeping Missions, the Case of Sierra Leone “家庭压力”:士兵家庭生活在维和任务中的作用,以塞拉利昂为例

ABSTRACT Through the case of the Sierra Leonean deployment on the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), this study argues that family-related stress is an often-overlooked challenge in peacekeeping deployments. Using in-depth interviews with Sierra Leonean soldiers who were part of the deployment, military decision makers, and foreign advisors, this article lays out specific factors that created family-related tensions and contributed to lowered morale for Sierra Leonean peacekeepers. It demonstrates that the family-related stress on deployment is not only an issue of family separation, it is entangled with the historic trajectories of the armed forces and the sending country’s socio-economic conditions. The focus on Sierra Leone highlights the additional and unique burdens that soldiers and their families may endure in troop contributions from lower-income countries.
摘要通过塞拉利昂在非洲联盟驻索马里特派团(非索特派团)的部署案例,本研究认为,在维和部署中,与家庭有关的压力是一个经常被忽视的挑战。本文通过对参与部署的塞拉利昂士兵、军事决策者和外国顾问的深入采访,阐述了造成与家庭有关的紧张局势并导致塞拉利昂维和人员士气低落的具体因素。这表明,与家庭有关的部署压力不仅是一个家庭分离的问题,它还与武装部队的历史轨迹和派遣国的社会经济条件纠缠在一起。对塞拉利昂的关注突出了士兵及其家人在低收入国家的部队派遣中可能承受的额外和独特的负担。

The focus on Sierra Leone highlights the additional and unique burdens that soldiers and their families may endure in troop contributions from lower-income countries.","PeriodicalId":47231,"journal":{"name":"International Peacekeeping","volume":"29 1","pages":"139 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44612022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT In the context of the current UN-led stabilization efforts in Mali, the United Nations peacekeeping mission undertakes significant investments in small-scale infrastructure development. The projects not only point to the spatial imprint of peacebuilding on the post-war landscape, but to the imagined performative power of infrastructure. Based on a survey of policy document and official communications, I investigate UN peacekeepers’ narratives of reconstruction, development, and peace promoted through this infrastructure building, and essentially, their role as urban planners in the context of the international military intervention. The account of peacebuilding through infrastructure projects and development resonates with the liberal peace paradigm but also problematizes the practice of civil–military intervention and its focus on infrastructure as device to achieving peace goals.
在当前联合国领导的马里稳定努力的背景下,联合国维和特派团在小规模基础设施发展方面进行了大量投资。这些项目不仅表明了战后和平建设的空间印记,而且表明了基础设施的想象表现力。基于对政策文件和官方沟通的调查,我调查了联合国维和人员通过基础设施建设促进重建、发展和和平的叙述,以及他们在国际军事干预背景下作为城市规划者的角色。通过基础设施项目和发展来建设和平的描述与自由主义和平范式产生了共鸣,但也对军民干预的实践及其将基础设施作为实现和平目标的手段的关注提出了问题。
