How “African” Is the African Peace and Security Architecture? Conceptual and Practical Constraints of Regional Security Cooperation in Africa
2012
ABSTRACT With the creation of the African Peace and Security Architecture in 2004, African states were aiming to assume the primary responsibility for peace and security on the continent and establish a structure to assemble the necessary financial and military means. However, despite the constant evocation of “African ownership,” it is non-African actors that call the tune and can define and drive African security. Based on a detailed juxtaposition of rhetoric and empirical evidence, this paper argues that significant conceptual and practical problems constrain the “Africanization” of African security and that it appears increasingly unlikely that the continent's states will be able to ach…
La respuesta del sistema de Naciones Unidas ante la situación de crisis prolongada en Haití
2016
Haití se ha erigido en un factor de inestabilidad regional que ha derivado en su consideración por parte del Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas como una amenaza a la paz y a la seguridad internacionales a lo largo de los últimos 25 años. Este artículo pretende analizar la importancia de la actuación internacional llevada a cabo en Haití, así como si la respuesta del sistema de las Naciones Unidas ante las crisis haitianas ha garantizado unas condiciones de paz y estabilidad que han servido de base para importantes avances en otros ámbitos. Haiti has emerged as a factor of regional instability that led to its consideration by the United Nations Security Council as a threat to peace …
The SADC Standby Force and Its Regional Peacekeeping Training Centre: Uncertain Operational Readiness and Future of an Externally Fuelled Brigade
2017
This chapter offers a comprehensive explanation of why and how SADC countries engaged in military integration and put efforts in establishing a regional standby brigade with an associated peacekeeping training centre. This chapter pays special attention to the impact of extra-regional actors and donors’ funding in this regard since the development of the SADC Standby Force occurs at a time when the region lacks an actual external threat. Instead, the African Union, together with the EU, provides financial incentives and thus promotes the build-up of a SADC brigade. The EU’s external influence, however, has been ambivalent insofar as a freezing of donations paralysed the operational capacity…

La intervención posconflicto en el Derecho internacional: una auditoría de género
2013
Que el conflicto armado tiene un impacto diferenciado de género es harto conocido. Demostrar además que la intervención posconflicto también lo tiene, constituye el objetivo de esta tesis. Por ello, partiendo de la potencialidad del gender mainstreaming o perspectiva transversal de género como herramienta fundamental para la gestión internacional de conflictos y, en línea con los postulados de la resolución 1325 del Consejo de Seguridad de Naciones Unidas sobre mujeres, paz y seguridad de 31 de octubre del año 2000, esta investigación adopta la forma de auditoría de género para trazar, mediante un análisis contextual (primera parte), jurídico (segunda parte) y clínico (tercera parte), la ev…
Liberal Institutionalism
2020
The application of liberal institutionalism to peacekeeping has shed light on several important questions regarding why member states support the deployment of a specific operation, how they build support for their position, whether domestic preferences influence their strategies in the Security Council and why they volunteer troops for peacekeeping. Sponsorship records have proven to be a useful sourse for researching coalition-building on peacekeeping.
