China and Japan in United Nations peacekeeping

DIIS is launching a new international network programme with the United Nations University (UNU) to explore the role of East Asia in United Nations peacekeeping.

Funded by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science, the network will strengthen the internationalisation of Danish research with the UNU, a leading global think-tank and postgraduate teaching organisation that serves as a bridge between international academia and the UN system.

Led by senior researcher Luke Patey with senior researcher Peter Albrecht, the network will tap into DIIS expertise on East Asian foreign policy and peacekeeping. It will collaborate with staff at the Tokyo-based UNU Centre for Policy Research, which is tasked with informing major debates across the UN in the fields of security, development and humanitarian affairs.
