un and global governance lecture 6

Stabilization vs peacebuilding
- readings put forward the binary of stabilization vs peacebuilding
  - what does “success” look like for stabilizing and peacebuilding
  - long term strategy for peacebuilding -> ends in procedural democracy?
  - long term strategy for stabilization -> restore state soverignty
    - developing human intelligence
    - “quick impact projects” -> UN country team
“What is stabilization”?
- SIPRI -> general trends for peace operations
- dodgy doctrinal status in UN missions
- Dorn: Intelligence Lead Peacekeeping - The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, united nations stabilization mission in the democratic republic of the congo (MONUSCO), united nations multidimensional integrated stabilization mission in mali (MINUSMA)
penholders in sc practice stabilization in their own interventions
create a space for political solution and reconstruction
- military actions are politized, and the boundary between military and political activity is blurred
peacebuilding and statebuilding are the same in stabilization
stabilization goes beyond counter-insurgency by being interagency

united nations multidimensional integrated stabilization mission in mali (MINUSMA) - does not fight terrorism, but the french and the sahel forces are established with counter-insurgency
MINUSCA -> rebels taking on local governance roles
