ABSTRACT This article assesses the nexus of militarised humanitarian work, governance and violence in the context of the ‘Mission des Nations Unies pour la stabilisation en Haïti’ (MINUSTAH). It draws on empirical fieldwork in Port-au-Prince and Rio de Janeiro. Brazil’s leading role in this UN mission reinforces the country’s ambitions as an emergent economic and political power on a global stage. Brazilian military and civilian actors base their claim of being uniquely qualified for urban ‘pacification’ efforts on a supposedly deeper cultural sensitivity which they assert to have developed in everyday civil–military encounters in the criminalised peripheries of Brazilian cities. By analysing the conflicting narratives in which the military, police and citizens negotiate these encounters, we argue that they allow for a revealing of the contested and often violent forms in which peace enforcement occurs.

将遭遇定为刑事犯罪：联海稳定团是武装人道主义安定的实验室

摘要本文在“联合国海地稳定特派团”（联海稳定团）的背景下，评估了军事化人道主义工作，治理和暴力之间的联系。它借鉴了太子港和里约热内卢的实地调查。巴西在联合国任务中的领导作用加强了该国作为全球舞台上新兴的经济和政治力量的雄心。巴西的军事和平民行动者声称自己具有独特的资格，可以胜任城市“和平化”努力的依据，是据称据称更深的文化敏感性，他们认为这种敏感性在巴西城市被定罪的周边地区的日常军民接触中已经发展。通过分析军事，警察和公民在谈判这些遭遇时的矛盾叙述，
