Presented by CIPS

Peacekeeping is a foundational component of the United Nations but its historical trajectory has been marked by great debate over its form and purpose. In the 21^st century, peacekeeping once again finds itself in a period of change, both geopolitically and in its practice. CIPS researchers, Caroline Dunton, Marion Laurence, and Gino Vlavonou, have recently edited a special issue of the Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, where participants in a 2021 CIPS workshop have published research on the future of peacekeeping. Contributors to this special issue include: Roland Paris, John Karlsrud, Katelyn Cassin, Benjamin Zyla, Tom Buitelaar, Marie-Joelle Zahar, and Laurence Deschamps-Laporte. At this CIPS event, the editors and contributors will discuss their articles.   

The event will be in English.
