Since 1999, in the aftermath of the tragic failures in Rwanda and
Srebrenica, the UN Security Council (UNSC) has readily and consistently
entrusted UN peacekeeping operations (UNPKOs) with robust mandates and the
authority to use force beyond self-defense for the protection of civilians.
In the ensuing decades, it has also sought to provide more robust resources
including vehicles, weapons, equipment, and technologies to enable UNPKOs to
implement and fulfill their mandates. What is only now being addressed,
however, is the need for more robust performance. This presentation
describes the mindset, understanding, and attitudes that are required to
achieve an effective level of performance.

Examines the privatization of peacekeeping. The spotty record of the UN in this role are briefly addressed before looking at the role of private companies in peace operations, particularly in Africa. The private sector is less expensive, more flexible, & more efficient, making the outsourcing of peace operations sensible to governments. Issues of accountability & regulation of these private companies are touched on. it is concluded that the limitations of international peacekeeping point to the utility of privatizing those services.

This article traces the history of Australian peacekeeping since its beginnings in September 1947. It shows that, while there have always been Australian peacekeepers in the field since 1947, the level of commitment in different periods has varied greatly. The article sets out to explain this phenomenon, chiefly in political terms. It argues that Australia's early involvement in the invention of peacekeeping owed much to External Affairs Minister H.V. Evatt's interest in multilateralism, but that under the subsequent conservative Menzies government a new focus on alliance politics produced mixed results in terms of peacekeeping commitments. By contrast, in the 1970s and early 1980s, for different reasons Prime Ministers Whitlam and Fraser pursued policies which raised Australia's peacekeeping profile. After a lull in the early years of the Hawke Labor government, the arrival of internationalist Gareth Evans as Foreign Minister signalled a period of intense peacekeeping activity by Australia. For different, regionally-focused reasons, Australia was again active in peacekeeping in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In recent years, however, Australia's heavy commitment to Middle East wars has reduced its peacekeeping contribution once again to a low level.
