EULEX Kosovo: A Test of the EU’s Civilian Crisis Management

  • Chapter
Managing Crises, Making Peace

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

Abstract

Contemporary peacekeeping operations and missions have increasingly focused on providing sustainable peace and have thus gained in complexity. At the same time, they have developed from predominantly military to joint military and civilian activities, with the civilian ones representing the larger part. This has resulted in an increase in the number of participating actors, with various governmental, non-governmental and intergovernmental organisations taking on important roles not only in the humanitarian field but also in social and economic fields and the reconstruction of state institutions.
