Más información sobre el libro

The paper examines the dynamics of UN peacekeeping missions, highlighting the disproportionate presence of military personnel from the Global South relative to their financial contributions. It addresses concerns from these countries about the imposition of Western-centric peace enforcement doctrines, which may exploit troops from developing nations. By analyzing these issues through a postcolonial lens, the text questions whether structural racism influences UN peacekeeping practices, raising critical discussions on equity and representation within international relations.
