Civil-Military Relationship: From Theory to Practice at the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) (original) (raw)
2022, Brazilian Journal Of African Studies
International theories that address civil-military relations have increasingly been the target of new approaches. The scenario in which these are developed gains specific nuances and priority fields in the discussion about the effectiveness of joint work and the limits of each of these groups. This article discusses how the civil-military relationship has been constructed in the context of UNMISS. Based on the theoretical construction of civil-military relations, more specifically, as applied to the context of peace operations and their practice, the effectiveness of the relationship between the military and civilian components in all their multiplicity is discussed. We challenge the efficiency of the integrated response that is sought through the deepening of civil-military relations. The central question addressed specifically seeks to understand the main problems in civil-military synergy in South Sudan and what can be done to mitigate this situation. As a result, we carried out the mapping of the main problems needed for both components and later confronted through discovery with military and civilians in charge of theoretical confrontation with the main concepts of the Copenhagen School and we discussed the process, projecting in this work some perspectives that can assist in the mitigation of mapped problems
