    Rebuilding state legitimacy is a thorny challenge in the aftermath of civil wars. The international community has stepped in to support post-conflict states in rebuilding state capacity, sometimes replacing governments in providing public goods. Most notably, research shows that UN peacekeepers reduce violence and are de factosecurity providers. On the one hand, by providing a secure environment, UN peacekeepers may facilitate the functioning of domestic institutions, which could reap the reputational benefit of working with the UN. However, I argue that attribution problems and reputational costs may counter the positive impact of the UN's capacitybuilding efforts. The analysis assesses whether and how external provision of security affects citizens' trust towards formal institutions-that is, government and police. The empirical analysis focuses on the case of the UN mission in Liberia and combines subnational deployment data with three rounds of geocoded Afrobarometer surveys. The project provides insights on how international interventions affect an understudied aspect of state-building: the legitimacy of the institutions they are expected to assist.

    The United Nations and the European Union have been working together since 2003 in the areas of peace operations and crisis management. They cooperate in regions such as the Western Balkans, Africa, and the Middle East. As the main representatives of the most important global and regional organizations, the UN and the EU aim to deploy efficient and fast responses to different types of crises such as: civilian, political, or institutional. In September 2018, they identified eight priorities to be addressed in the framework of the UNEU Strategic Partnership on Peacekeeping and Crisis Management for 2019-2021, stressing especially the importance of women for peace, and security. Then, two years later, in September 2020, during the 75th session of the UN General Assembly, they signed the Framework Agreement on Mutual Support in the context of their respective missions and operations in the field. In this working paper, we use primary sources such as official documents, interviews, and declarations to look at how this relationship has developed, and to assess the main implications of the partnership for the parties concerned and its main beneficiaries.

    Based on a state policy perspective, this paper seeks to present the path of Brazil’s participation in United Nations (UN) peace operations, from its genesis in 1947 to the present day, with the intent to comprehend whether there is a progressive and evolutionary pattern in these engagement efforts, and which would be the main challenges, contributions and future orientations to the country in this matter. To this end, in a first moment, the text will bring a conceptual discussion regarding the different definitions and understandings on peace operations. Subsequently, we will analyze the evolution of UN peace operations throughout its 70 years and the Brazilian positions during this period. In a third moment, we will present final considerations, identifying the upcoming challenges and the main possible perspectives for Brazil to engage in future peace operations. The intention, therefore, is to ascertain whether peacekeeping operations, as an instrument of international politics aligned to the guidelines of Brazilian defense and foreign policies, should continue to be supported by Brazil or if new reorientations are necessary as a national strategy.
