VILLA Rafael Duarte

Engagement of military peacekeepers in Brazilian politics (2011-2021)/ Rafael Duarte Villa and Anais M. Passos - 2023

Peacekeepers are seen as a UN tool for promoting domestic changes in host countries, but little is known about the political consequences when officers return home. During the last 10 years, Brazilian presidents appointed a significant number of former peacekeepers to key political functions. How and why do former peacekeepers end up so involved in government affairs? To answer this question, this paper focuses on the array of skills acquired by peacekeepers in domestic missions and reinforced abroad.
