Dear colleagues,
please consider submitting a paper to the panel "South-South-Cooperation
in Contemporary Peacekeeping" as part of the upcoming Peace and Conflict
Studies in Anthropology (PACSA) meeting, 28 - 30 August 2017 in Amsterdam.
*The NEW deadline for paper submission is on April 12, 2017*
Convenors/: Andrea Steinke, Freie Universität Berlin
([log in to unmask]) and Frank Müller, University of Amsterdam
([log in to unmask])
While the UN Security Council is dominated by states of the Global
North,African, Asian and Latin American countries predominantly provide
the troops for today’s sites of UN peacekeeping interventions. The
vastmajority of the 16 UN missions currently deployed are located in
those regions, too. Brazil for example is in charge of the troops of the
UN stabilization mission to Haiti, MINUSTAH.
This panel invites to inquire the contribution of troop providing
countries from the Global South to the Global South. The convenors are
particularly interested in anthropological case studies that assess the
following aspects of South-South cooperation in peacekeeping:
# The manifold political and economic motivations of troop contributing
countries from the Global South;
# the ways in which an assumed “Global South identity” inboth sending
and receiving countries affects the legitimacy and the efficiency of UN
peacekeeping missions;
# the dynamics of in- and exclusion at UN executive level, within the
different parts of peacekeeping missions (civil, police and military
from different national backgrounds), and in relation to the populations
they serve;
# the increasing entanglements of humanitarian and military strategies
and practices in governing populations and territories as part of “armed
social work” (Kilcullen 2010) and the role anthropology plays in this
nexus.
In order to submit a paper proposal, please send your abstract of
approximately 250 words to
