  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Rethinking Peace and Conflict Studies ((RCS))

Abstract

Contemporary international operations and missions are complex activities undertaken by the international community which consist not only of a military component but also of a civilian one. The nature and the goals of peace operations have changed over time, and formerly neutral activities have become an integral part of national policies, with national interests playing a crucial role. This has led to organisational and legal changes in those countries that contribute to peace operations, with the goal being to help achieve the objectives of the operations and to increase efficiency.
