ABSTRACT Regions are becoming increasingly central to both the implementation and claims to legitimacy of UN peacekeeping operations. In 2008, in the UN Secretary General published a report on the relationship between the UN and Regional Organisations (S/2008/186**), highlighting that UN-regional partnerships should develop to entail wider capacity building activities, define and refine the responsibilities of regions and the UN in both Chapter VIII and non-chapter VIII activities, and perform functions in support of disarmament and mediation. However, ten years after the UN Secretary General’s report and four years after the HIPPO report there is still an urgent need to understand how, and in response to what drivers, are UN peacekeeping operations changing? In this paper I argue that because of the UN’s approach to partnerships it excludes learning from the contributions of other global potential partners including ASEAN. As a result, although there are pathways that make it possible for such a transfer of knowledge and experience, but these are often blocked—or perhaps just obscured—by the practices within the UN; for example, the institutional stickiness around partnerships.

东南亚大国和对维和行动的贡献：联合国-东盟为和平而合作？

摘要 地区对于联合国维和行动的实施和合法性要求越来越重要。2008 年，联合国秘书长发表了一份关于联合国与区域组织关系的报告（S/2008/186**），强调应发展联合国与区域的伙伴关系，以开展更广泛的能力建设活动，界定和完善职责第八章和非第八章活动中的区域和联合国，并履行支持裁军和调解的职能。然而，在联合国秘书长报告十年后和 HIPPO 报告四年后，仍然迫切需要了解如何以及应对哪些驱动因素，联合国维和行动正在发生变化吗？在本文中，我认为，由于联合国对待伙伴关系的方式，它排除了从包括东盟在内的其他全球潜在伙伴的贡献中学习的可能性。因此，虽然有一些途径使这种知识和经验的转移成为可能，但这些途径常常被联合国内部的实践所阻碍——或者可能只是被掩盖了；例如，围绕伙伴关系的制度粘性。
