ABSTRACT

There is growing scholarly interest in the role of individuals in UN peace operations, but this literature includes very little systematic analysis of how individual characteristics of peacekeeping leaders affect how international interventions are conducted. This paper seeks to fill this gap by building a systematic framework for analyzing the impact of individual characteristics on the behaviour of field-level personnel. I then show the utility of this framework for explaining the human rights promotion approaches of peace operations through a comparative study of two directors of human rights divisions in the DRC.

只是风中的叶子吗？使用代理人层面的因素来解释人权促进策略的变化

摘要

学术界对个人在联合国和平行动中的作用越来越感兴趣，但这些文献很少对维和领导人的个人特征如何影响国际干预的进行进行系统分析。本文旨在通过建立一个系统框架来分析个体特征对现场人员行为的影响来填补这一空白。然后，我通过对刚果民主共和国人权部门两位主管的比较研究，展示了该框架在解释和平行动的人权促进方法方面的实用性。
