| Summary/Abstract |
The deployment of ever-growing numbers of police in support of peacekeeping and peacebuilding objectives under the mandate of the United Nations is a feature of modern policy. Field research into the role, function and routine experiences of police in peace missions is critical to an understanding of the dynamics underlying foreign deployment and the impact on police institutions at home. This paper draws on a series of focus group discussions with South African police who had been deployed to Darfur, Sudan, and describes key aspects of the experience as narrated by them afterwards.
