Abstract

United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations have developed into one of the world’s most important institutions engaged in establishing peace and security. Over time, several generations of peacekeeping operations have succeeded one another. It has taken until the most recent generation of peacekeeping operations that the UN started to look upon security sector reform as a cornerstone for establishing durable peace. Now the UN commonly implements security sector reform (SSR) in many of its peacekeeping operations. This study focuses on whether such SSR policies and activities contribute to durable peace according to actors involved or affected by these interventions. The study takes as an empirical case the Kivu provinces in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). More specifically, the study looks into how the SSR policies and activities of the UN peacekeeping operation in the DRC (MONUC) contribute to durable peace. This will be assessed on the basis of the perceptions, views and evaluations of those involved or affected by MONUC’s SSR interventions.
