Title: International Peacekeeping and European Armed Forces
Abstract: In addition to the development of new non-operational roles for the armed forces in the area of military cooperation, the end of the Cold War has increasingly placed a spotlight on the involvement of the armed forces in military interventions premised at least officially on the maintenance of international peace and security, and only indirectly linked to traditional concepts of self-defence. The number of these tasks has grown dramatically over the last 15 years. Between 1988 and 1993 there were more such interventions than in the whole period from 1945 to 1987 (Bellamy, Williams and Griffin, 2003: 75). Since 1999 there have been 10 UN military missions (see Table 7.1), with the UN deploying 49,000 troops and civilians under its authority in mid-2004, '…a figure only briefly exceeded in the early 1990s' (IISS, 2004: 13).KeywordsSecurity CouncilEuropean StateMilitary ForceService PersonnelMilitary InterventionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
