With more than 100 active conflicts
around the world, international peacekeeping operations play a central role in
reducing violence and ensuring stability. As the number of peacekeeping
operations grows, together with the size of their mandates, so does the
importance of U.S. involvement in this critical conflict management tool. But
how central should multilateral peacekeeping be to U.S. foreign policyin times
of fiscal austerity?
With a key role in U.S. national
security,theU.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) bolsters peacekeeping
missions worldwide through its on-the-ground training programs and by training
local populations to resolve conflicts themselves before they turn deadly. To
discuss U.S. support for international peacekeeping operations, USIP hosts
Assistant Secretary of State for Poltical-Military Affairs Andrew Shapiro for a
public event on February 27. Mr. Shapiro will discuss U.S. programs to build
global peacekeeping capacity, and theway these efforts help advance U.S.
national security.
