Political Science 361 - Global Peace Operations

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

Staff Peace operations have been widely deployed to contain and promote resolution of conflicts. This course probes the different contexts in which peacekeepers have been introduced: post-colonial transitions, interstate conflicts, civil conflicts, and humanitarian emergencies. Comparative case studies are drawn from Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, and elsewhere, highlighting contrasts between traditional observer missions and the complex, multidimensional operations of recent years. Moreover, the expectation of United Nations engagement has been superseded by the newly prominent role of regional organizations and "coalitions of the willing" in many global contexts.
