| Summary |
This literature review contextualizes, reviews, and critically discusses the scholarly debate surrounding the emergence of a "Brazilian way of peacebuilding." Since the 2000s, Brazil has increasingly contributed troops to UN-led peacekeeping missions, specifically in Haiti and Sub-Sahara Africa. Opposing the dominant liberal peacebuilding paradigm, Brazil has staged itself as an advocate, promoting a more pragmatic, democratic, and sustainable peacebuilding approach that emphasizes local ownership, non-conditionality, and non-militarization. Investigating, whether portrayals of a "Brazilian way" are substantial, and how coercive Brazil acts in comparison to traditional Western actors, the paper examines motivations, paradigms, and the operationalization of its peacekeeping and peacebuilding endeavors. It first situates Brazil in the larger debate on rising powers and traces the evolution of Brazil's engagement in UN peacekeeping. This then allows to zoom in on conceptual and normative debates surrounding the security-development nexus and Responsibility to Protect vs Responsibility while Protecting, and to comparatively assess the successes and failures of Brazil's engagements in two concrete cases: Haiti and Guinea-Bissau. Overall, the findings are ambiguous, as Brazil does resort to coercion, hence contradicting its exceptionalist, pacifist discourse. Nonetheless, recognition of Brazil's efforts to contest and simultaneously mimic liberal peacebuilding is crucial to measure Brazil's transformative impact on multilateral operations. This, however, requires scholars to fill the substantial gap in empirical research concerning the concrete practices and consequences of Brazilian peacekeeping and peacebuilding missions on the ground |
