Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On average, China contributes more troops to United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions than any other permanent member of the UN Security Council. The country dispatches high-value, hard-to-source enabler troops and has recently begun to provide combat troops, marking a significant change in its deployment profile. Like other countries, China’s decisions to deploy troops are motivated by its desire to protect national interests, gain operational experience, and secure a positive reputation and high status. China, typically reluctant to intervene, is a unique troop contributor in that it only engages in peacekeeping through the United Nations. So, when China dispatches troops, it sends a strong message that the international community is united and committed to act. UN offcials recognize China for the quality and quantity of its deployed forces and welcome an increase in its support to UN peacekeeping. Both the United States and China should continue to cooperate on peacekeeping initiatives and deliver on their 2015 peacekeeping pledges. To increase China’s troop commitments, UN officials should continue to work closely with China to facilitate field learning and engage Chinese officers in senior roles at headquarters and on mission.

Download or read book China s Changing Policy on UN Peacekeeping Operations and the Driving Forces Behind Those Changes written by Yuanqing Jiang and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compared to other countries, China took part in United Nations peacekeeping operations relatively quite late (at the beginning of 1990s). However, during the past two decades, China has deployed over 17,000 troops on peacekeeping operations in total. At the end of 2009, China was first among the Permanent Five Members in terms of the number of military peacekeepers from Troops Contributing Countries (TCC). It is an impressive change in China's peacekeeping policy. There are numerous factors that drove China to make these changes, alongside the strategies required to drive these changes that will be discussed in detail. This dissertation traces the evolution of China's contribution against the background of the history and modern development of China and explains the strategic rationale behind the changes. Furthermore, the author demonstrates how well the Chinese policy of "harmonious society harmonious world" resonates with UN principles and the needs of the developing world. In addition, this dissertation analyses challenges that China is facing during peacekeeping operations and points out the tendencies of China's peacekeeping policy. Finally, the author also makes some recommendations for China to take more active participation in UN peacekeeping and take more responsibilities for the benefit of world peace and stability.

Book excerpt: First published in 1998, Peacekeeping in Africa was written to help make up the shortfall in the number of books that concentrated specifically on peacekeeping in Africa. The book covers the main peacekeeping operations of Africa, and provides a wealth of background material. In doing so, it explores the policies and actions of the international organisations concerned and the participating African states. It also considers the impact of sub-regional powers and the role of the USA, Britain, and France. Comprising three parts, Peacekeeping in Africa examines world perspectives, case studies, and wider issues surrounding Africa’s peacekeeping operations.

Download or read book China s Evolving Approach to Peacekeeping written by Marc Lanteigne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has become an enthusiastic supporter of and contributor to UN peacekeeping. Is China’s participation in peacekeeping likely to strengthen the current international peacekeeping regime by China’s adopting of the international norms of peacekeeping? Or, on the contrary, is it likely to alter the peacekeeping norms in a way that aligns with its own worldview? And, as China’s international confidence grows, will it begin to consider peacekeeping a smaller and lesser part of its international security activity, and thus not care so much about it? This book aims to address these questions by examining how the PRC has developed its peacekeeping policy and practices in relation to its international status. It does so by bringing in both historical and conceptual analyses and specific case-oriented discussions of China’s peacekeeping over the past twenty years. The book identifies the various challenges that China has faced at political, conceptual and operational levels and the ways in which the country has dealt with those challenges, and considers the implication of such challenges with regards to the future of international peacekeeping. This book was originally published as a special issue of International Peacekeeping.

Download or read book China s Un Peacekeeping Experience in Africa written by Meshach K. Ampwera and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the cognizance of the view that China's increasing peacekeeping participation in Africa is in line with the UN peacekeeping operations guidelines, this book examines China's UN Peacekeeping experience in Africa from 2000 to 2010 using three cases of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and Liberia. The selection of these cases is because China has participated in these countries and that is where the largest Chinese troop contribution has been made, thus providing an opportunity through which China's UN peacekeeping experience is examined. Effectively, this situation elucidates prospects for China-Africa cooperation under the framework of the United Nations Security Council. If there is full use of deep experience and camaraderie, the two sides (China and Africa) share and develop a common desire for development and strategic interests; there is a possibility that this cooperation could situate some African countries for a position on the Security Council.
Download or read book China s Evolving Role as a UN Peacekeeper in Mali written by Jean-Pierre Cabestan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese troops have been stationed in Mali for the last half-decade as part of the UN-mandated stabilization force. Deployed after rebel groups overran large portions northeastern Mali in 2013, it was just the second time Beijing had ever contributed combat troops to a UN peacekeeping mission. This Special Report examines how China is using its peacekeeping activities in Mali as an opportunity to train troops and test equipment in a hostile environment—and as a way of extending its diplomatic reach and soft power in Africa and beyond.
Download or read book China s and Italy s Participation in Peacekeeping Operations written by Andrea de Guttry and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participation in international peace operations has become a key component of the foreign policy strategy of many countries worldwide. Italy and China have been, and are currently, involved in various efforts to maintain and promote international peace and security, including Peacekeeping Operations (PKOs). This book offers a description of the two countries’ engagement in international peace operations, analyzing it through the lenses of law, sociology, history, and politics. The specific experiences of Italy and China provide an excellent opportunity for comparing and contrasting how and why foreign powers intervene in the name of peace. At the same time, this book focuses on a number of crucial challenges PKOs are currently facing (training of personnel, ensuring accountability, effectively assisting war-torn States in their rehabilitation effort), and tries to explain how Italy, China, and other international actors are trying to respond to the many dilemmas and contradictions of postwar peace. Contributors include academics from a wide range of disciplines and interests, diplomats, and practitioners involved in international peace operations.
Download or read book China s Evolving Role in Peacekeeping and African Security written by Frans-Paul van der Putten and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "China is in the process of expanding its military role under UN command in Africa, at a time when Chinese commercial interests and civilian presence in the African continent is growing fast. This Clingendael Report focuses on China's dispatch of a force protection unit to Mali with the UN's peacekeeping force MINUSMA and the insights that can be derived from this deployment with regard to: a) its operational aspects, including possibilities for Sino-European cooperation at the local level; b) China's stance towards UN peacekeeping operations; and c) the relevance of peacekeeping operations for the protection of Chinese civilians and economic assets in Africa. Compared with its relatively large economic role throughout Africa, China's involvement in crisis management in conflict areas remains modest. The deployment of a force protection unit to Mali does not constitute a significant change in this regard. However, this deployment does highlight China's aim to strengthen its position within the UN and in UN peacekeeping. It also suggests that the build-up of a military presence under UN command, which may eventually open up new possibilities for protecting citizens and economic assets in Africa, could be another long-term aim."--Page 5.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations written by Joachim Koops and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 1031 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook on United Nations Peacekeeping Operations presents an innovative, authoritative, and accessible examination and critique of the United Nations peacekeeping operations. Since the late 1940s, but particularly since the end of the cold war, peacekeeping has been a central part of the core activities of the United Nations and a major process in global security governance and the management of international relations in general. The volume will present a chronological analysis, designed to provide a comprehensive perspective that highlights the evolution of UN peacekeeping and offers a detailed picture of how the decisions of UN bureaucrats and national governments on the set-up and design of particular UN missions were, and remain, influenced by the impact of preceding operations. The volume will bring together leading scholars and senior practitioners in order to provide overviews and analyses of all 65 peacekeeping operations that have been carried out by the United Nations since 1948. As with all Oxford Handbooks, the volume will be agenda-setting in importance, providing the authoritative point of reference for all those working throughout international relations and beyond.
Download or read book Providing Peacekeepers written by Alex J. Bellamy and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the rising demand for peacekeepers saw the United Nations (UN) operate at a historically unprecedented tempo, with increases in the number and size of missions as well as in the scope and complexity of their mandates. The need to deploy over 120,000 UN peacekeepers and the demands placed upon them in the field have threatened to outstrip the willingness and to some extent capacity of the UN's Member States. This situation raised the questions of why states contribute forces to UN missions and, conversely, what factors inhibit them from doing more? Providing Peacekeepers answers these questions. After summarizing the challenges confronting the UN in its force generation efforts, the book develops a new framework for analyzing UN peacekeeping contributions in light of the evidence presented in sixteen case study chapters which examine the experiences of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Ghana, Nepal, Uruguay, Brazil, Turkey, South Africa, and Japan. The book concludes by offering recommendations for how the UN might develop new strategies for force generation so as to meet the foreseeable challenges of twenty-first century peacekeeping and improve the quantity and quality of its uniformed peacekeepers.

This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s military relations with the countries of the Middle East have become increasingly close in recent years. To protect its commercial interests and contribute towards international security, China has built up a soft military presence of various forms in the Middle East. Such overseas military forces are deployed either within the framework of the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKO) or independently, and carry out military as well as civilian missions, especially in areas such as the evacuation of nationals, humanitarian relief, search and rescue, protecting expatriates, escorting, logistics supply, peacekeeping, and conflict prevention. The soft military footprints are not for a geopolitical rivalry, but rather for mission-oriented tasks.
