China's UN Peacekeeping Experience in Africa

Více o knize

With the cognizance of the view that China's increasing peacekeeping participation in Africa is in line with the UN peacekeeping operations guidelines, this book examines China's UN Peacekeeping experience in Africa from 2000 to 2010 using three cases of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and Liberia. The selection of these cases is because China has participated in these countries and that is where the largest Chinese troop contribution has been made, thus providing an opportunity through which China's UN peacekeeping experience is examined. Effectively, this situation elucidates prospects for China-Africa cooperation under the framework of the United Nations Security Council. If there is full use of deep experience and camaraderie, the two sides (China and Africa) share and develop a common desire for development and strategic interests; there is a possibility that this cooperation could situate some African countries for a position on the Security Council.
