ship with local populations that encounter PMSCs. The authors argue that publicly traded companies are more likely to adhere to these norms because of their expanded client lists and desire to retain their reputation than are privately owned PMSCs. The book includes an empirical case study of Iraq that simultaneously evaluates the effects of global competition (e.g. publicly traded firms) and introduces subcontracting into the empirical literature. The authors catalog instances of financial fraud and human rights abuse in Iraq from 2003 to 2018. Publicly traded firms are associated with decreases in abuse and fraud, or increases in performance, compared to privately held PMSCs. The case study on Iraq would benefit from a discussion of how the US changed its management approach and use of PMSCs through the period. One striking vignette is the competition between Aegis and DynCorp for a contract to monitor other PMSCs. Aegis won the contract and reported violations by other PMSCs and themselves making this a case that fits the authors theoretical claims about competition and improved monitoring. However, the episode has limited generalizability to weak states or instances where financial constraint limits the number of firms the employer can hire. The authors also explore the role of subcontracting – which occurs when a primary contractor hires another PMSC to deliver services and, thus, extends the potential agency problems. Subcontracting is common in security privatization and frequently mentioned by scholars and media, but this is the first rigorous treatment of the subject. Consistent with expectations, the authors find that subcontracting increases the likelihood of abuse and fraud. In sum, through clear theorizing, innovative research design, and extensive analysis, Akcinaroglu and Radziszewski significantly extend our understanding of PMSCs, counterinsurgency, and civil wars.
与当地居民接触PMSCs。作者认为,上市公司更有可能遵守这些规范,因为它们的客户名单扩大,并且希望保持自己的声誉,而不是私人拥有的私营服务提供商。该书包括对伊拉克的实证案例研究,同时评估了全球竞争的影响(例如上市公司),并将分包引入实证文献。作者列举了2003年至2018年伊拉克发生的金融欺诈和侵犯人权事件。与私人持有的私营私营服务公司相比,上市公司与滥用和欺诈行为减少或业绩提高有关。对伊拉克的案例研究将受益于讨论美国在此期间如何改变其管理方法和使用私营军事服务公司。一个引人注目的小插曲是Aegis和DynCorp争夺监控其他PMSCs合同的竞争。Aegis赢得了合同,并报告了其他PMSCs和自己的违规行为,这符合作者关于竞争和改进监督的理论主张。然而,这一事件对弱国或财政约束限制雇主可以雇用的公司数量的情况具有有限的普遍性。作者还探讨了分包的作用——当主承包商雇用另一个PMSC提供服务时,就会发生分包,从而扩大了潜在的代理问题。转包是证券私有化中常见的现象,经常被学者和媒体提及,但这是第一次对这一问题进行严谨的处理。与预期一致,作者发现分包增加了滥用和欺诈的可能性。总之,通过清晰的理论、创新的研究设计和广泛的分析,Akcinaroglu和Radziszewski极大地扩展了我们对PMSCs、平叛和内战的理解。

‘African Peacekeeping Training Centres: Socialisation as a Tool for Peace?’ explores how activities of peacekeeping training centres are influenced by attempts to diffuse international norms to shape peacekeepers’ behaviour. The book contributes to the existing literature that examines the processes of socialization that take place within African peacekeeping training centres. The book focuses on two peacekeeping training centres, which have been selected based on their different approach to supporting continental peace: the Kofi Anna International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) and the African Centre for Constructive Resolution of disputes (ACCORD). The book uses qualitative methodologies to understand how African peacekeeping training centres construct knowledge and enhance peacekeepers’ capacities. However, the book concludes that there are limitations to socialization through peacekeeping training in terms of attitude and behavioural changes. This is not surprising given the limited time that peacekeepers spend at training centres and the scarcity of reflection time available and often given to peacekeepers in general. The book is composed of five main chapters that discuss various aspects of socialization within these centres. For example, in chapter one, the author presents the main research puzzle asking whether African peacekeeping training centres act as socialization agents of the peacekeeping profession. The socialization theory is primarily based on Checkel’s work. Chapter two examines the impact of liberal peace theory on international interventions and how these normative dimensions translate into practical and
“非洲维和培训中心:社会化是和平的工具?”探讨了维和培训中心的活动如何受到传播国际规范以塑造维和人员行为的企图的影响。这本书为现有文献做出了贡献,这些文献研究了非洲维和培训中心内发生的社会化过程。本书重点介绍了两个维和培训中心,这两个培训中心是根据支持大陆和平的不同方法选择的:科菲-安娜国际维和培训中心和非洲建设性解决争端中心。该书使用定性方法来了解非洲维和培训中心如何构建知识并提高维和人员的能力。然而,该书的结论是,通过维持和平培训进行社会化在态度和行为改变方面存在局限性。这并不奇怪,因为维和人员在培训中心的时间有限,而且通常给维和人员的反思时间很少。这本书由五个主要章节组成,讨论了这些中心内社会化的各个方面。例如,在第一章中,作者提出了主要的研究难题,即非洲维和培训中心是否是维和职业的社会化代理人。社会化理论主要建立在Checkel工作的基础上。第二章考察了自由和平理论对国际干预的影响,以及这些规范层面如何转化为实际和

nections with broader dynamics at play. For example, the matter of external dependency, APSA, and ownership of the peacebuilding process are only addressed in the conclusion. This is understandable given the editors’ desire to include twenty authors and the diversity of their perspectives. The volume lays the groundwork for future research on understanding conflict and peacebuilding dynamics in Africa, especially on how the AU and RECs should cooperate more efficiently and avoid overlap. All three books are unique contributions to the debates that attempt to understand how the continent’s ability to deal with peace and security questions has evolved over the last two decades. The books do well to describe how institutions, such as the AU and RECs, as well as member states, work to solve manifold challenges posed by the new era of conflict and instability. The books demonstrate that African institutions are doing their best not only to reform but also to continually build Africa’s capacity to deal with emerging issues through adaptable approaches that are often African led. Finally, the books in their own right highlight how African institutions continue to be a beacon of hope but also radically respond to emerging issues.
有更广泛动态的联系在起作用。例如,对外依赖、安保措施和建设和平进程的所有权问题只在结论中讨论。考虑到编辑希望包括20位作者和他们观点的多样性,这是可以理解的。本书为今后研究非洲冲突与和平建设的动态奠定了基础,特别是关于非盟和经济合作区域应如何更有效地合作并避免重叠。这三本书都对试图理解过去二十年来非洲大陆处理和平与安全问题的能力如何演变的辩论做出了独特的贡献。这些书很好地描述了非盟和RECs等机构以及成员国如何努力解决冲突和不稳定新时代带来的各种挑战。这些书表明,非洲各机构不仅在改革方面尽了最大努力,而且在通过往往由非洲主导的适应性方法,不断建立非洲处理新出现问题的能力。最后,这些书本身强调了非洲机构如何继续成为希望的灯塔,但也对新出现的问题做出了激进的反应。

From its capacity for deploying joint operations in conflict zones to its status as a standard-bearing forum for international behaviour, the United Nations has asserted its relevance in a diverse array of issues and conflicts around the world. Equally as diverse has been the scholarship surrounding the United Nations over the past several decades. This collection of essays provides a snapshot of these diverse lines of scholarship, highlighting existing scholarship on a range of topics, as well as identifying areas of opportunity for future scholarly work on these topics. Taken as a whole, this forum more broadly provides insight into core pillars of the United Nations' mission--including the maintenance of peace and security; fostering friendly relations between nations; promoting human rights and humanitarian goals; and encouraging cooperation and harmonization of interests between nations. Moving forward, it is our hope that this collection will serve as a sprigboard for inspiring future work to both build and expand upon the insights from the past several decades of scholarship on the United Nations.
从在冲突地区部署联合行动的能力,到作为国际行为标准论坛的地位,联合国在世界各地的各种问题和冲突中都表明了自己的重要性。在过去几十年中,围绕联合国的学术也同样多样化。这本论文集简要介绍了这些不同的学术领域,突出了一系列主题的现有学术,并确定了未来在这些主题上进行学术工作的机会领域。总的来说,这个论坛更广泛地提供了对联合国使命核心支柱的见解,包括维护和平与安全;促进国家间的友好关系;促进人权和人道主义目标;鼓励国家间的合作和利益协调。展望未来,我们希望这一收藏将成为激励未来工作的跳板,以建立和扩大过去几十年来对联合国的学术见解。

ABSTRACT The narrow framing of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) and the United Nations Zero-Tolerance Policy inadequately accounts for the range of sexual interactions in peacekeeping contexts and obscures the wider social contexts within which sexual decision making occurs. We draw on personal narratives from women who have had such sexual interactions, as well as community observers to demonstrate the complexity, multiple forms and ambiguities that characterize these relationships. We focus particularly on ‘love’ and long-term relationships. The complexities revealed cast doubt on the efficacy and appropriateness of the UN’s zero-tolerance policy and call for a modification of the concept of the peacekeeping economy to include consideration of intimacy, emotion and quests to fulfil expectations of gendered social roles in the contradictory landscape of peacekeeping.
摘要性剥削和性虐待(SEA)和联合国零容忍政策的狭隘框架没有充分考虑维和背景下的性互动范围,并掩盖了性决策发生的更广泛的社会背景。我们利用有过这种性互动的女性以及社区观察者的个人叙述,来展示这些关系的复杂性、多样性和模糊性。我们特别关注“爱情”和长期关系。所揭示的复杂性使人怀疑联合国零容忍政策的有效性和适当性,并呼吁修改维和经济的概念,包括考虑亲密关系、情感和在矛盾的维和环境中实现性别社会角色期望的努力。

A Shrinking Humanitarian Space: Peacekeeping Stabilization Projects and Violence in Mali 不断缩小的人道主义空间:马里的维和稳定项目与暴力

ABSTRACT While the peacekeeping mission in Mali is the deadliest active mission, aid workers are not a prominent target. This is puzzling because humanitarians argue that integrated missions aligning political, military and humanitarian goals impede their security. I argue that the fallacy of integrated peacekeeping missions is that the humanitarian space shrinks due to rising insecurity. This takes place when integrated missions blur the lines between civilian and military action and when they politicize humanitarian aid through biased mandates. I test the argument by comparing new data on peacekeeping stabilization projects with other aid projects, using a matched wake analysis that estimates a difference-in-difference model with sliding spatio-temporal windows. I find that peacekeeping stabilization activities increase violence against civilians on the ground in the short term, which ultimately decreases humanitarian access. Paradoxically, the UN names lack of humanitarian access as a key challenge to protecting civilians, but contributes to the access challenge itself.
尽管在马里的维和任务是最致命的现役任务,但救援人员并不是一个突出的目标。这令人费解,因为人道主义者认为,将政治、军事和人道主义目标结合起来的综合任务阻碍了他们的安全。我认为,综合维和特派团的谬误在于,人道主义空间因不安全局势加剧而缩小。当综合特派团模糊了民事和军事行动之间的界限,并通过有偏见的授权将人道主义援助政治化时,就会发生这种情况。我通过比较维和稳定项目与其他援助项目的新数据来检验这一论点,使用匹配尾流分析,估计具有滑动时空窗口的差异模型。我发现,维持和平的稳定活动在短期内增加了针对当地平民的暴力,最终减少了人道主义援助。矛盾的是,联合国将缺乏人道主义援助视为保护平民的一个关键挑战,但却助长了这一挑战。

Beyond Dues: The Role of U.S. Military Aid in UN Peacekeeping Operations 超越决斗:美国军事援助在联合国维和行动中的作用

ABSTRACT Shortfalls in personnel are common across UN peacekeeping operations (PKOs). An ongoing concern is that many PKOs lack sufficient resources to effectively fulfil their mandates. This may in turn be a major contributing factor to shortages of peacekeepers. How do provisions of non-personnel resources to UN PKOs shape other states’ voluntary commitments of peacekeeping personnel? This study focuses on the role of the U.S.’s voluntary peacekeeping assistance as a mechanism for reducing personnel shortfall. By providing additional assistance for specific peacekeeping operations, the U.S. enhances the ability of states that are willing but lack the resources to deploy peacekeepers and increases the willingness of states that are otherwise reluctant to make personnel commitments to these operations. In turn, these provisions of support lead to greater personnel commitments to the missions where the U.S. allocates this aid. Results from an analysis of U.S. peacekeeping assistance and personnel commitments within UN operations from 2000 to 2015 indicate that these aid provisions lead to reductions in shortfalls of peacekeepers.

人员短缺是联合国维和行动中普遍存在的问题。一个持续的关切是,许多维和行动缺乏足够的资源来有效地履行其任务。这可能反过来成为维持和平人员短缺的一个主要因素。向联合国维和行动提供的非人员资源如何影响其他国家对维和人员的自愿承诺?本研究的重点是美国自愿维和援助的作用,作为一种机制,以减少人员短缺。通过为具体的维和行动提供额外援助,美国增强了那些愿意但缺乏资源部署维和人员的国家的能力,并增强了那些不愿为维和行动作出人员承诺的国家的意愿。反过来,这些支持条款会导致更多的人员投入到美国分配援助的任务中。对2000年至2015年联合国行动中美国维和援助和人员承诺的分析结果表明,这些援助条款导致维和人员短缺的减少。这些发现表明,通过提供这种额外的援助,美国不仅增加了集体人员承诺,而且这样做还可以提高其支持的任务的有效性。

An ongoing concern is that many PKOs lack sufficient resources to effectively fulfil their mandates. This may in turn be a major contributing factor to shortages of peacekeepers. How do provisions of non-personnel resources to UN PKOs shape other states’ voluntary commitments of peacekeeping personnel? This study focuses on the role of the U.S.’s voluntary peacekeeping assistance as a mechanism for reducing personnel shortfall. By providing additional assistance for specific peacekeeping operations, the U.S. enhances the ability of states that are willing but lack the resources to deploy peacekeepers and increases the willingness of states that are otherwise reluctant to make personnel commitments to these operations. In turn, these provisions of support lead to greater personnel commitments to the missions where the U.S. allocates this aid. Results from an analysis of U.S. peacekeeping assistance and personnel commitments within UN operations from 2000 to 2015 indicate that these aid provisions lead to reductions in shortfalls of peacekeepers. These findings suggest that the U.S. not only increases collective personnel commitments by providing this additional assistance but, in doing so, may also enhance the effectiveness of the missions it supports.","PeriodicalId":47231,"journal":{"name":"International Peacekeeping","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48532875","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}
