Challenges for Integrated Peacekeeping Operations

Paul Luif

Arbeitspapier 63/Dezember 2010

This report will give an overview of a rather complex and complicated subject matter. It deals with the question of importance of future peace operations, the socio-economic effects of the “third generation” of peacekeeping. These missions usually also involve aspects of peacebuilding. Beyond eliminating the use of violence and/or maintaining peace, operations try to establish the rule of law, improve governance in the area of operation and promote reconciliation so that armed conflict is no longer considered to be a mechanism for dispute resolution. But these integrated peacekeeping operations (PKOs) also have broader objectives, like those related to economic development, which, in particular, should benefit the local population.
