This book provides a contemporary account of the linkages between
the academic field of conflict resolution and the practice of
military peacekeeping, through the lens of pre-deployment training
for military personnel about to embark on UN peacekeeping
operations. Military personnel serving on United Nations
peacekeeping operations are deployed into highly challenging
post-conflict environments, where the likelihood of violence
remains high. Moreover, these personnel are deployed part of a
wider peace process, and are thus situated as an anchor point in a
transition from war to peace. This dimension of their work
therefore means that a range of skills and techniques are relied
upon, which come not from traditional military training, but from
other, non-traditional fields. It is into this gap where the
academic field of conflict resolution has made a valuable
contribution to understanding international peacekeeping. Since the
1970's, studies have sought to understand international
peacekeeping as a necessary stage in conflict de-escalation, and
ultimately transformation. From this, there is a history of
engagement including studies which seek to understand the skills
peacekeepers may need to assist them in their day to day
activities, and the role that international peacekeeping plays in
wider projects of conflict transformation.
