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 deadline for paper submission is on*Sunday 2 April 2017.* Convenors/: Andrea Steinke, Freie Universität Berlin ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>)//and Frank Müller, University of Amsterdam ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[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 vast majority 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” in both 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 [log in to unmask] and indicate you wish your paper to be considered for: Panel 17, "South-South-Cooperation in Contemporary Peacekeeping".
