ABSTRACT

Peacekeeping and development assistance are two of the United Nations’ (UN) defining activities. While there have been extensive studies of UN engagement in each of these areas, respectively, less attention has been given to the relationship between peacekeeping and development. We examine that relationship in this article. We do so by first considering whether concepts and principles that underpin peacekeeping and development cohere. We then combine original quantitative data with qualitative analyses in order to document the degree to which development goals and activities have been incorporated into UN peacekeeping operations since their inception over 70 years ago. While we observe a steady increase in the level of engagement of peacekeeping with development over time, we argue that short-term security goals have been prioritized over longer-term development objectives in a number of recent UN peacekeeping operations, as peacekeepers have been deployed to contexts of ongoing conflict.

摘要

维持和平和发展援助是联合国（UN）定义的两项活动。尽管对联合国在这些领域中的每一个领域的参与都进行了广泛的研究，但对它们之间关系的关注较少。维和与发展。我们在本文中研究了这种关系。为此，我们首先考虑支撑维和与发展的概念和原则是否一致。然后，我们将原始定量数据与定性分析相结合，以记录发展目标和活动自 70 多年前成立以来已被纳入联合国维和行动的程度。虽然我们观察到维和与发展的参与程度随着时间的推移稳步增加，但我们认为，在最近的一些联合国维和行动中，短期安全目标优先于长期发展目标，因为维和人员已被部署到持续冲突的背景。
