This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of an epochal
shift in global order the fact that global-south countries have
taken up leadership roles in peacekeeping missions, humanitarian
interventions, and transnational military industries: Brazil has
taken charge of the UN military mission in Haiti; Nigeria has
deployed peacekeeping troops throughout West Africa; Indonesians
have assumed crucial roles in UN Afghanistan operations; Fijians,
South Africans, and Chileans have became essential actors in global
mercenary firms; Venezuela and its Bolivarian allies have
established a framework for "revolutionary" humanitarian
interventions; and Turkey, India, Kenya, and Egypt are asserting
themselves in bold new ways on the global stage.
In this context, this collection sheds critical light on
intersections between imperialism and humanitarianism, between
neoliberal globalization and "rescue industry" transnationalism,
and between patterns of geopolitical hegemony and trajectories of
peacekeeping internationalism. These case studies are grouped into
three clusters (I) Globalizing Peacekeeper Identities, (II)
Assertive "Regional Internationalisms," and (III) Emergent
Alternative Paradigms. Together, these articulate a new research
agenda and offer significant contributions to fields of global
studies, transnational gender and race studies, critical security
studies and peace studies, comparative politics, police and
military sociology, Third World diplomatic history, and
international relations.
This book was published as a special issue of
Globalizations.
