China and African Peace Operations

The first issue of the China Quarterly of International Strategic Studies published in April 2015 contains an article titled "Chinese Peace? An emergent Norm in African Peace Operations" by Steven C.Y. Kuo, analyst at Control Risks in Johannesburg.

The article highlights differences, identifies tensions, and recognizes complementarities between the dominant liberal and the emergent Chinese approach to peace building.  There is a special emphasis on Chinese peace operations in Liberia.  You can access a PDF version of the article by simply registering with the journal, which is published by the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies.
