Breaking the balance? the impact of peacekeeping deployments on civil-military relations/ Monalisa Adhikari

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2020Subject(s): Online resources: In: International Peacekeeping: Vol 27, No 3, June 2020, pp.369-394 (96)Summary: The UN, notably the UN's Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), has been unable to use its leverage over military forces in TCCs to push through reforms on civil military relations. Instead, peacekeeping deployments bring significant institutional, political and financial benefits to the security forces in TCCs, which impacts the civil-military equilibrium within them. In doing so, the article does not claim a direct causal relationship between peacekeeping deployments and the state of civil-military relations in FCAS, but rather seeks to explore the contours of their interaction. To pursue these arguments, I borrow from Owens to define civil-military relations as: allocation of responsibilities and prerogatives between the civil government and the military establishment.11
