This course is designed for undergraduate students interested in peace and global affairs. As the international community moved from a norm of "hard shell" state sovereignty to one in which there is a "responsibility to protect," the number of peace operations and their complexity has increased accordingly. There are currently more than 200,000 peacekeepers in 53 peace operations on five continents deployed by 12 international organizations and various multinational coalitions. Peace operations are a very important phenomenon in global relations bringing together the international community to address issues of peace, stability, economic development, post-conflict reconstruction, humanitarian aid, and governance, among others. The work of peacekeepers in conflicts such as Sudan, Kosovo, and Somalia has global consequences that are explored during this course. Restriction(s): Restricted to Global Studies major(s).
