ABSTRACT This article explores the application of complexity theory to UN peacekeeping. To date, peacekeeping has been dominated by linear models of change, assuming that conflict settings can be addressed by elite-driven peace processes, gradual improvements to state institutional capacity, and development programming. However, this article argues that complexity theory offers a far more accurate and useful lens through which to view the work of peacekeeping: conflict settings represent complex, interdependent socio-political systems with emergent qualities giving them the capacity to self-organize via feedback loops and other adaptive activity. Self-organization means such systems are highly resistant to attempts to change behaviour via top-down or input-output approaches. In fact, peacekeeping itself is endogenous to the systems it is trying to change, often displaying the same kinds of self-organization typical of complex systems elsewhere. Drawing on experience working and conducting fieldwork in the UN peacekeping mission in Democratic Republic of the Congo, this article argues that UN peacekeeping operations should view themselves as actors within the complex conflict ecosystem, looking to enable transformational change from within, rather than impose liberal Western models from without.

ABSTRACT This article introduces an analytical framework for studying and interpreting the sometimes surprisingly different ‘shapes’ (key topics and approaches) of donor-funded responses to sexual violence in and after armed conflict. Our framework highlights processes of politicization, depoliticization, and technicalization and their influence on interventions. Drawing on available studies, published documents, and our own field research in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Sierra Leone, we show that donor-funded responses to sexual violence since the early 2000s have taken remarkably different shapes – despite the emergence of influential international policy narratives and roughly similar forms of sexual violence in both contexts. A focus on context-specific processes of politicization, depoliticization, and technicalization reveals how these differences came about and persisted over time. (De-)Politicization and technicalization of sexual violence as a ‘weapon of war’ in DRC have led to medicalized and security-centred statebuilding interventions in the county's eastern conflict zones. By contrast, donor-funded responses in Sierra Leone framed and addressed sexual violence as ‘domestic violence’ even before the war had officially ended. We find that these different shapes emerged from initial differences in (de)politicization and technicalization processes driven by different ‘first responders’ in both contexts, which created enduring path dependencies.

ABSTRACT Although United Nations peacekeeping operations (UN PKOs) produce positive outcomes for peace, some missions are strategically replaced by cheaper and smaller UN political missions (PMs). This article explores why certain peacekeepers are replaced by UN PMs and unpacks the exit strategy of UN PKOs. The logic of demand-side and supply-side perspectives is evaluated using data on the deployment of UN peacekeepers and UN PMs in post-civil war countries between 1993 and 2016. Signing comprehensive peace agreements (CPAs) increases the chances of UN PKOs being replaced by UN PMs because as the willingness to develop politically increases, the demand for civilian personnel after demilitarization also rises. On the supply side, as the preferences of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council concerning target states become more heterogenous, UN PKOs are more likely to be replaced by UN PMs because coordination problems encourage members to choose less burdensome missions.

The theme of state-building became popular in International Relations literature in the 2000s, in the aftermath of UN experiences (or experiments) in Kosovo and Timor-Leste. Muschik’s commendable book dispels the misconception that it was only in the 1990s that international organizations sought to assist states in structuring their governance, even if the term ‘state-building’ might not have been in use before that decade. It is a book of many qualities, foremost of which the aim to connect the immediate object of study to broader tendencies in international politics. The purpose of Building States is to assess the role of the UN in establishing the post-Second World War system of states in the context of the fall of colonial empires, economic interdependence and a rise in nationalism. The book analyzes how the UN Secretariat tried to conciliate the conflicting demands of ending colonialism, preserving sovereignty and organizing trusteeships in the name of development. The empirical analysis establishes that the UN should be taken seriously as an actor in world history, that its Secretariat crafted an agenda of its own and did not act at the behest of the West, and that the idea of state-building was conceived in the course of early decolonization as a universally applicable technical instrument rather than a political practice. There are two methodological choices that are worth noting. First, the book selects sources that come almost entirely from UN staff, such as memoirs of international officials. This does not allow much room for voices from the countries receiving assistance. Second, in terms of the choice of cases, those where the Secretariat was heavily involved are dealt with in depth, whereas those where intergovernmental bodies led, such as Trieste and Namibia, are left outside the book’s scope. The introduction grounds the book in the UN’s historiography with a thorough discussion on the organization’s role in the undoing of colonial empires in what ultimately became the decolonization process. Engaging with the works of Pedersen, Mazower and others, Muschik’s book shows how small states and the Secretariat chose to interpret the provisions of the UN

Policing in peace operations occupies an interesting position at the intersection of Rule of Law (RoL) and Security Sector Reform (SSR). On the one hand, policing is seen as a part of continuum that includes courts and prisons. On the other, it is associated with broader efforts to reform the state’s coercive arm, including the military, away from practices associated with authoritarianism and repression. While RoL and SSR efforts share concerns about effectiveness and accountability, and are supposed to operate in tune, their emphases and ways of approaching peacebuilding and statebuilding are not exactly the same. The RoL and SSR angles provide for contrasting ways of conceptualizing the main challenges of transforming policing in the wake of conflict. Should the driving concern be the state’s monopoly on the use of force, democratic control of the state’s coercive arm, or everyday security? To what extent do these objectives align? Policing thus provides an interesting viewpoint from which to examine the tensions and contradictions that traverse the contemporary project of keeping and building peace, which is illustrated by the three books examined here. These books differ in scope, authorship and audience. Ansorg and Gordon’s edited volume, Co-operation, Contestation and Complexity in Peacebuilding:

ABSTRACT South Africa has served as an elected African member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) three times: in 2007–2008; 2011–2012; and 2019–2020. This article grapples with South Africa’s role as an active, voting participant on the UNSC during its third term, with reference to its previous UNSC tenures. Using a three-step model of voting behaviour analysis, the article highlights aspects of South Africa’s international peacekeeping obligations that interested observers have placed considerable value on, to determine its consistency in acting upon its declared foreign policy. This includes the Republic’s role in bringing the UN and African Union (AU) peace and security structures closer together and its efforts in strengthening the women, peace, and security (WPS) agenda. The study finds that the Republic has consistently built on its memory from its previous two terms, and its failures and successes, enabling it to utilize its third term in the most optimal way possible to meet its multilateral foreign policy goals.

ABSTRACT Several recent studies consider the determinants of misconduct by military personnel deployed to United Nations peacekeeping operations (PKOs). While the majority of peacekeepers carry out their duties honorably and often at great personal risk, these studies operate from the premise that misconduct by even a few peacekeepers can undermine a mission, and reduce support for future missions. Even so, misconduct by civilian police deployed to PKOs remains massively understudied in comparison to their military counterparts, though UN police are more likely to face credible allegations of misconduct compared to UN troops. Based on the inclusive or extractive incentives of contributor states, we find support for the argument that the behavior of security personnel at home readily predicts misconduct when deployed to PKOs. This same logic has implications for the UN's increasingly preferred ‘Formed Police Units,’ whose use may actually increase the likelihood of sexual exploitation and abuse.
