Funded Activity Summary

Taking sides: Assessing the partiality of international peacekeeping. This project aims to examine an enduring question for peacekeeping: should United Nations peacekeepers take sides between conflict parties, or should they remain impartial brokers that assist combatants to find their own peace settlement? Detailed comparison of six decades of peacekeeping will advance both the theory and practice of peacekeeping by understanding and explaining a striking gap between the long-standing principle of impartiality and the frequent, controversial practice of taking sides. By conducting the first systematic study of partiality in peacekeeping and evaluating the effectiveness of this practice, the project aims to contribute new data, theoretical tools and policy proposals for building international peace and stability.
