| Summary/Abstract |
The protection of civilians is a priority in most international peace operations today. There are important differences in the concept, however, in the operations undertaken for example by the UN, NATO, EU and the AU. In particular, a distinction needs to be made between the protection of civilians in 'peacekeeping' as compared to 'peace enforcement' operations. While in the former a 'proactive' approach to protecting civilians is usually adopted, in the latter a 'reactive' approach is normally required. These theoretical differences present important implications for those decision-makers mandating the operations as well as those involved in planning and implementing them in the field.

| Summary/Abstract |
This essay addresses the most relevant milestones of Chile's contribution to international peace operations (PKOs) by exploring its different phases. Its aim is to analyse the interaction between defence policy and foreign policy in the framework of a complex and interdependent international system. This is followed by a description of national regulations for the participation of military personnel in PKOs. Finally, the text analyses the effects of participation in PKOs on Chilean Marine Corps personnel through the results of a perception survey taken in 2009; further it develops potential scenarios for future missions.

| Summary/Abstract |
This analysis examines the evolution of Austrian participation in international peace—and peacekeeping—operations from 1960 to the present. In doing so, the emphasis is not on the missions themselves, nor the role played by Austrian contingents over the years in various theatres of operation.1 Rather, this exegesis scrutinises the political motivation behind the decision to deploy peacekeepers, to which extent these were conscientious decisions taken by the government for specific reasons, and the role played by other factors.
