Abstract
ABSTRACT This article develops the concept of peacekeeping as enterprise. It focuses on two dimensions of peacekeeping as enterprise: the first making a connection between peacekeeping as enterprise, via peacekeeping economies, to peace economies; the other focusing on the analytical utility of peacekeeping as enterprise, particularly in contrast to conceptualisations of peacekeeping as exceptional. It puts forth a conceptualisation of peacekeeping as (political-economic) exchange, rather than primarily a project of beneficence or, conversely, extraction. Such a conceptualisation deepens our understanding of how peacekeeping is lived and ‘works’ in practice, while also facilitating the study of how peace economies form and evolve.
