Myths, Peacekeeping and the Peacekeeping Myth
View through CrossRef
An overview of the political functions of myths and maps the peacekeeper myth throughout United Nations (UN) doctrine and academic theorisations about UN peacekeeping in international relations. Details how distinctions between traditional peacekeeping (associated with consent, neutrality and non-violence) and second- or third-generation peacekeeping (exemplified by UN missions post-1970 that involve significantly more robust mandates) have imbued discourses about peacekeeping with the understanding that it is distinct from other forms of militarised violence, including peace-making, counterinsurgency and warfare.
