- W613308538 abstract "The question implied in the title of this chapter may seem provocative at a time when peacekeeping operations have been recently, and are currently, deployed around the world on a scale unimaginable before 1990. The question is timely, nonetheless, because the multiplicity of such operations has spawned ever more pressing questions about their conduct, effectiveness, management and impact. Since 1989, opportunities for peacekeeping have increased, partly because the end of the Cold War has made it easier to obtain consent within the United Nations, and partly because public opinion is better informed (the ‘CNN effect’) about geographically remote conflicts, and less tolerant therefore of inactivity on the part of their own governments. Nevertheless, the nature of conflicts has changed, and so has the required response. The essentially intra-state character of many conflicts raises important questions about sovereignty: in what circumstances is it legitimate for the ‘international community’ (however defined) to intervene in a situation that is either exclusively, or largely, confined within the borders of a single state? If the situation is perceived as a major humanitarian issue (e.g. ethnic genocide) there may be good grounds for saying that the moral imperative overrides the strictly legal concern for non-interference in the domestic affairs of sovereign states. However, even if such a moral imperative is recognized, there may be reluctance to be involved or disagreement as to how the crisis should best be tackled: opposing factions within one Third World country may be supported, respectively, by separate or overlapping groups of states in the world community. The shift towards these more complex operations, emphasizing the enforcement of peace instead of its maintenance, has drawn the whole question of ‘peacekeeping’ into more controversial territory. While it is well known that peacekeeping operations have become much more numerous since 1989, it is also true that the risk of failure, and the results of failure, have increased in equal measure. On the one hand, there has been a strong incentive, if not necessity, to veer towards peace enforcement, while, on the other hand, the dangers of straying from the path of classic peacekeeping (the ‘thin blue line’ ethos) have been only too apparent. At the heart of this conundrum lies the distinction between peacekeeping and peace enforcement." @default.
