Location: 1st floor conference room
Over the past 10 years, China has dramatically increased and diversified its contributions to United Nations (UN) peacekeeping activities and is at present the largest contributor of peacekeepers to the UN among the Permanent Five members of the UN Security Council. This development has important implications for Chinese foreign and security policy, China's role in the international community, and the future of the global peacekeeping regime. What is driving China's more proactive approach to peacekeeping? How is China contributing and how are those contributions changing? How do Chinese peacekeepers perform? What are the problems and prospects going forward for a more active Chinese peacekeeping role? Should China and its international partners seek greater cooperation around peacekeeping affairs?
Join us for the launch and panel discussion of a new USIP-funded SIPRI report by Bates Gill and Chin-hao Huang entitled, China's Expanding Role in Peacekeeping: Prospects and Policy Implication. The study draws on extensive research, interviews, and site visits in China, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Liberia, and elsewhere in North America and Europe.
