Token forces - tiny national troop contributions in much larger
coalitions - have become ubiquitous in UN peacekeeping. This
Element examines how and why this contribution type has become the
most common form of participation in UN peace operations despite
its limited relevance for missions' operational success. It
conceptualizes token forces as a path-dependent unintended
consequence of the norm of multilateralism in international uses of
military force. The norm extends states' participation options by
giving coalition builders an incentive to accept token forces;
UN-specific types of token forces emerged as states learned about
this option and secretariat officials adapted to state demand for
it. The Element documents the growing incidence of token forces in
UN peacekeeping, identifies the factors disposing states to
contribute token forces, and discusses how UN officials channel
token participation. The Element contributes to the literatures on
UN peacekeeping, military coalitions, and the impacts of norms in
international organizations.
