Peace Operations, P5, Security CouncilAbstract
The article investigates the involvement of the five permanent members of the Security Council (P5) - China, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Russia - in peace operations carried out by the United Nations (UN). We will seek to profile each of the P5 states as contributors of human and material resources to peace operations and point to elements that help to understand their patterns of engagement. We intend to show that, in addition to their interests in promoting international peace, security and stability in more general terms, the political, economic and operational involvement of the P5 is motivated by a variety of particular goals, resulting in an increasingly selective participation. This instrumentalisation of peace seems to be associated with the emergence of a new profile of operations, especially in the last decade, characterised by the logic of stabilisation. Methodologically, the article will be based on bibliographical and documentary research, and qualitative data analysis.
