The heritage of European International Society in multidimensional peace operations: Liberia as a case study

Abstract

The present paper has as its central objective to analyze peace operations as a form to reinsert States in a Global International Society that still carries a series of institutions, norms, values and rules earlier consolidated by the Europeans in previous centuries. I rely on English School’s historical perspective on International Society in order to demonstrate the transmission of certain institutions through multidimensional peace operations, briefly exposing the UNMIL case.
