Past Event

Please join us for our next event in the NPSIA Seminar Series with a talk by Dr. Alexander Gilder, Associate Professor of International Law and Security at the University of Reading.  His talk is entitled “Partnerships in the Midst of Robust Peacekeeping”

The partnerships needed for a peacekeeping mission to achieve its mandate are diverse and multifaceted. But how have robust peacekeeping practices impacted the relationships between the UN and its partners? Based on qualitative research, the project unpacks the evolution of partnerships amidst robust peacekeeping practices and suggests how peace operations can ensure positive working relationships with their partners.

Dr Gilder works on areas related to international peace and security, such as UN peace operations, peacebuilding, and human security. One of the few international lawyers working in the peacekeeping space, his research is necessarily interdisciplinary, drawing on perspectives from law, peace and conflict studies, and international relations.

Alex investigates various aspects of UN peacekeeping including stabilization, counter-terrorism, the rule of law, the protection of civilians, and security sector reform. For example, his work has examined the rule of law activities of the UN in South Sudan (UNMISS) and the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), the legal implications of robust mandates and engagement with counter-terrorism by UN peacekeepers in Mali (MINUSMA), local engagement by the UN in Côte d’Ivoire (UNOCI), the role of UN peace operations in global health crises, and the future of protection of civilian mandates and their relationship with security sector reform.

This will be a virtual event.
