智利參與聯合國維和行動之研究: 海地行動之重要性 (2002-2012)

Abstract

Chile has participated in peacekeeping operations since the beginning of the United Nations in 1945. However, is with its participation in the Multinational Interim Force in Haiti MIFH and in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti MINUSTAH, that Chile began an active and massive involvement in peacekeeping operations of the UN. This thesis is based on a main objective, to analyze Chile’s Participation in the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKO) from 2002 to 2012, giving special attention to the importance of the Mission in Haiti for Chile; the variations in Chile’s institutionalism and Foreign Policy; and lessons learned from this operation for future engagement by Chile’s blue helmets. Chile participates in MIFH and MINUSTAH since 2004. The deployment of this mission was a great effort of the state, giving an effective response. Since then, many changes have occurred in the legal and organizational structure of Chile to better respond to the call of the UN. Thanks to the massive participation of Latin American countries in the Haiti mission, new systems of cooperation have arisen between them. These mechanisms are of great importance in matters of security, and could entail significant progress on regional security. This research seeks to demonstrate that Chile’s participation in the Haiti mission represents a turning point in the country’s participation in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations, having as a consequence the country’s integration into the international arena. Furthermore, this study aims to discover the reasons that lead Chile to participate in Haiti, which are related to the foreign policy’s interests fulfilled by the engagement in this mission. One of the most important ones is the intention of Chile to be part of the Security Council as a nonpermanent member for the period of 2014-2015. 表單編號：ATRX-Q03-001-FM031-01
