China has become an enthusiastic supporter of and contributor to
UN peacekeeping. Is China s participation in peacekeeping likely to
strengthen the current international peacekeeping regime by China s
adopting of the international norms of peacekeeping? Or, on the
contrary, is it likely to alter the peacekeeping norms in a way
that aligns with its own worldview? And, as China s international
confidence grows, will it begin to consider peacekeeping a smaller
and lesser part of its international security activity, and thus
not care so much about it?
This book aims to address these questions by examining how the
PRC has developed its peacekeeping policy and practices in relation
to its international status. It does so by bringing in both
historical and conceptual analyses and specific case-oriented
discussions of China s peacekeeping over the past twenty years. The
book identifies the various challenges that China has faced at
political, conceptual and operational levels and the ways in which
the country has dealt with those challenges, and considers the
implication of such challenges with regards to the future of
international peacekeeping.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
International Peacekeeping.
