Intervencao Contra A Pirataria Nas Costas Da Somalia: Naval Peacekeeping?
In: Relações internacionais: R:I, Heft 31
ISSN: 1645-9199
This article examines the implications of international intervention against piracy off the coast of Somalia backed by several Security Council resolutions since 2008. Based on a seminal academic debate generically known as naval peacekeeping, the article argues that the intervention against Somali piracy is the empirical realization of an autonomous concept of peacekeeping at sea, disconnected from the concepts usually applied to the land-based UN peace operations framework.
