Abstract

Much peacekeeping literature focuses on the need of the international community to prevent human catastrophes, project liberal values, provide security or prevent conflict areas from becoming terrorist enclaves, which has been a major goal in the global war on terror since the September 11 attacks (Ramsbotham/Woodhouse 1996; Hultman 2013). This approach to peace studies impedes reflections on what is already known and limits activities in this area to classroom lectures. So, how do we keep in touch with the past while searching for more effective approaches for the present and future? To foster this process, this paper adopts a traditional approach to peace studies and examines the challenges of peacekeeping approaches, neo-realist manipulations, the unanswered issues that persist, the challenges on the ground to peacekeepers and host populations, and the implications for troop-contributing countries. This paper encourages people to revisit the ideological foundations of peace studies and the development of peacekeeping theories.
